Bug Description

It appears that a recent ImageMagick update from 8:6.7.7.10-6ubuntu3.7 to 8:6.7.7.10-6ubuntu3.8 (on or around 7/24/2017) is causing issues for applications that use ImageMagick (like Variety: http://peterlevi.com/variety/). Please refer to this ImageMagick forum thread for further details:
