It matters in this case because both packages provide stuff in
/usr/bin, and we only should have one provider of those. ImageMagick
should retain them, and the ImageMagick6 compat package should only
provide libraries for stuff that can't link to the IM7 libraries.Ah, yes, that's a good point. I think we have a bunch of packages that 'BuildRequires: ImageMagick' and then use /usr/bin/convert during the build to convert icons from one format to another. Other packages require /usr/bin/convert for runtime use.Sergio, what's your plan for handling /usr/bin/convert?
Thank you Kalev ,
I don't indent change /usr/bin/convert from ImageMagick6 so probably it will /usr/bin/convert-7
Note that I checked Remi package and copied some ideas from there, so also should check how Remi handle this .
