Imagemagick reports "UnableToOpenConfigureFile"

[Robert Marsanyi]

Previous version (6.5.6) was installed in /usr/local/bin. New version (6.6.9) is installed in /usr/bin.

Running "convert -version" returns 6.5.6. That version can't find it's configure directory. Reinstalling from repository does not remove the binary in /usr/local/bin; "which convert" still shows it.

Removed it manually, and reinstalled imagemagick-common and imagemagick packages from repository using Synaptic. From a new terminal, "which convert" now shows /usr/bin, there's a /usr/share/ImageMagick-6.6.9 folder been created and convert commands run correctly.

Invalid. /usr/local version is prefered over /usr/bin. Unix standard
