fbsetbg fails after latest upgrade

Hi,
it seems that display of imagemagick can't draw to the root window anymore (it segfaults).
Any idea?
Cheers,
Blind

What steps do I have to take to reproduce? Please be a bit more specific.

Here is the message from 'xmessage' when I start fluxbox as usual (fbsetbg is in the 'startup' in the .fluxbox directory):

fbsetbg: Something went wrong while setting the wallpaper.
Run 'display -backdrop -window root /home/fred/.bg/background.jpg' from an xterm to find out what.

This is what I get when doing fbsetbg manually (as in the startup file)

$fbsetbg -C ~/.bg/background.jpg
/usr/bin/fbsetbg: line 522:  4918 Segmentation fault      $WPSETTER `eval echo $option` "$wallpaper"

And this is what I get when running the command as suggested by 'xmessage':

$ display -backdrop -window root /home/fred/.bg/tobacco_sky.jpg
Segmentation fault

Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Blind

If you are using all the latest libs then it looks like it need to be recomplied. Trying building it yourself from ABS and if that solves it then report a bug on the bug tracker for a rebuild.

The point actually is that display has been rebuilt very recently, don't think another rebuild will solve it

OK...so what actually will solve it?

Guess an upstream bugfix from the imagemagick developers, though I don't think they have one if it isn't reported in their bugtracker.

Install nitrogen for the time being.
Its in community.

imagemagick 6.2.9.0-2 should fix this.
