Title:
  convert (6.5.7.8-1ubuntu1) generates a broken EPS file

Status in “imagemagick” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in “imagemagick” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: imagemagick

  The problem introduced in Imagemagick 6.5.7.8-1ubuntu1 (lucid). Karmic
  Koala does not have this problem, because it uses an old version of
  Imagemagick that does not try to generate embedded XMP comments when
  convert JPEG file to EPS.

  How to reproduce the problem:

  1. Get any JPEG file using XMP extension. For instance, this:

  $ wget
  http://www.stockartistsalliance.org/files/STILLINGS_Jamey_SAAweb_0.jpg

  2. Try to convert it to EPS

  $ convert STILLINGS_Jamey_SAAweb_0.jpg STILLINGS_Jamey_SAAweb_0.eps

  3. Check the result

  $ gv STILLINGS_Jamey_SAAweb_0.eps

  Ghoscript will produce an error. Moreover, a close inspection in any text editor will reveal that XMP is incorrect embedded. See the segement between `%begin_xml_code' and `%end_xml_code'. And here is an example how XMP comment can be embedded to EPS correctly:
  http://mep.fi/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/*checkout*/gurvi/scopegui.eps?revision=1.1.1.1&root=cvs

  I have downloaded and tested the last upstream release (6.5.8-10), and
  it has the same problem.

  I suggest to report the problem to the upstream, and meanwhile to
  disable generating XMP comments by commenting out the following lines
  from coders/ps.c.

  ==================================================================================
  http://trac.imagemagick.org/browser/ImageMagick/trunk/coders/ps.c
  1508            profile=GetImageProfile(image,"xmp");
  1509            if (profile != (StringInfo *) NULL)
  1510              {
  1511                /*
  1512                  Embed XML profile.
  1513                */
  1514                (void) WriteBlobString(image,"\n%begin_xml_code\n");
  1515                for (i=0; i < (long) GetStringInfoLength(profile); i++)
  1516                  (void) WriteBlobByte(image,GetStringInfoDatum(profile)[i]);
  1517                (void) WriteBlobString(image,"\n%end_xml_code\n");
  1518              }
  1519            value=GetImageProperty(image,"label");
  ==================================================================================

  Because this is a new feature, its disabling will not affect anyone.
  The output will be exactly as it was before.
