I doubt it will save us in our case: the captcha generation script uses, among others, the "-annotate" command-line option when calling the "convert" imagemagick's program. It'm not an imagemagick expert, but it appears to me that this is exactly a case when the said command has to render text, and for this it possibly needs at least some font-handling library, which, unsurprisingly, will pull a whole lot of X stuff. So I think we'll just release 2.1.1 with imagemagick | graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat in Suggests accompanied with appropriate explanation in README.Debian (already committed to the repository). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
