Title:
  /usr/bin/rsvg removed from latest upload (causing FTBFSes in archive)

Status in “imagemagick” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “librsvg” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “imagemagick” package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  1) imagemagick's /usr/bin/convert first will try to use the internal svg converter found in the recommended package libmagickcore4-extra. Since it is recommended, it is not pulled into the buildds and not required on users systems.
  2) When libmagickcore?-extra is missing on a system (such as the buildds and a user's system), "convert" will fall back to /usr/bin/rsvg. However, that file no longer exists in ubuntu.


  Original report:
  The most recent upload of rsvg (2.35.2-0ubuntu1) no longer includes /usr/bin/rsvg.

  imagemagick's "convert" uses it to convert svgs to other file types.

  Many packages use "convert" in the build to generate the pixmaps
  required for debian menus.
