stdout from installation attempt

Newest calibre does not check for libMagickCore shared lib major version number, and fails in the linking phase: previously, I have upgraded imagemagick to 6.7.5.3

Compile log is attached.

As confirmation, calibre-0.8.39 compiles and installs fine on a system with imagemagick-6.7.1.0

Unless I'm missing something, the answer likely is "revdep-rebuild is your friend".

How does revdep-rebuild affect a package that fails to install per se?

Well, it may affect one of the installed *dependencies*.
However, I've been recently reminded about bug 391251 (one that I filed and forgot about). See, if that's not your problem too.

The problem is in imagemagick, not calibre, because some libraries and executables get linked against the installed version (with SONAME=4) which then gets removed. The workaround is to install the same media-gfx/imagemagick version twice. The solution is up to its maintainers.

Either recompile, or even better, compile calibre-0.8.40 which doesn't have that problem anymore
