[Bug 994807] [NEW] ImageMagick version 3 no longer available in Ubuntu 12.04

[Dima Ryazanov]

Public bug reported:

Upgrading from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04 breaks any binary that depends on libMagick++.so.3, libMagickCore.so.3, etc.
Sure, I could re-compile everything with every upgrade - but that's a lot of wasted effort, so in practice, not upgrading Ubuntu is the only solution.

Mac OS maintains compatibility for at least one major version; Windows
maintains it pretty much forever. I would really like to see Ubuntu do
something similar.
