I cannot open inkscape anymore.

I get the following error in terminal:

$ inkscape
inkscape: symbol lookup error: inkscape: undefined symbol: _ZN6Magick5Image4readERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEE

Please any progress or reply in this? same with 0.91-5ubuntu5

I believe this to be fixed nowadays. this bug was filing during the development version of xenial, and I believe this was due to an ongoing library transition (i.e. an imagemagick transition).

At any rate I can't reproduce it, if you still can reproduce it in your up-to-date xenial system, please reopen the bug report.
