[Bug 1415906] Re: package imagemagick-common 8:6.7.7.10+dfsg-4ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: package imagemagick-common is already installed and configured

[Marc Deslauriers]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Title:
  package imagemagick-common 8:6.7.7.10+dfsg-4ubuntu1 failed to
  install/upgrade: package imagemagick-common is already installed and
  configured

Status in imagemagick package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  first this bug is reported with dpkg as a problem when crossinstalling packages which require same dependency. This shouldn't happen. If a package is installed, then other packages requiring same dependency should be warned automatically.
  More annoying though: This comes up repeatantly as an error message even long time after installation procedures have taken place, again and again. Please handle.
