[Bug 1415895] Re: package imagemagick-common 8:6.7.7.10+dfsg-4ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: package imagemagick-common is already installed and configured

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 dpkg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Strange policy there: Why is it selectable in first place, if it complains that it is already installed
  and configured? 

  Did install k3d, gimp and upgrades in Ubuntu 14.10 with Synaptic when
  this came up.

  Maybe a bug in synaptic?  Will those kinda problems be handled in
  15.04 only

  or can I have it all working and handled fine earlier in the promised
  ubuntu utopia ; ))

  Would be so nice, thanks.
