Hi Nelson, first I have to thank you very much. These libraries were indeed the problem. I removed them and now the version of lenny is working as it should and reports the right version.
I use imagemagick since long time and I used since Debian 3.0 and 4.0 not only the stable version but sometimes also testing and unstable. It is clear that I must have installed the libraries in 2007 (according to the timestamp) in any way. I am almost sure that I did not installed imagemagick other than from a Debian distribution. The libraries were installed with my personal account and not under root. So it seems that they were not installed with any Debian package. The version of etch used libmagick9 and this was not located in /usr/local/lib. So this explains why I got the problem just after switching to lenny. I think that imagemagick should first look for the libraries in /usr/lib before searching in /usr/local/lib. This would prevent the usage of wrong local libraries. Again thank you very much.

Here: open("/usr/local/lib/libMagick.so.10", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/usr/local/lib/libWand.so.10", O_RDONLY) = 3 Do you remember if you have manually installed an older ImageMagick version? From what I see, the "convert" command that you are calling is from another install of ImageMagick (not the one from Debian). Test with this: /usr/bin/convert --version "whereis convert" can help you in finding where is the other convert binary (as we know that the libs are under /usr/local/lib) Best regards, Nelson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
