[Bug 929573] [NEW] /usr/bin/rsvg removed from latest upload (causing FTBFSes in archive)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Scott Howard (showard314):

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.
