Why do I have two versions of ImageMagick?

At some point Arch moved over to ImageMagick 7 but for some reason I still have an old version in parallel:

$ cd /usr/lib
$ ls ImageMagick*
ImageMagick-6.9.11:
config-Q16HDRI  modules-Q16HDRI

ImageMagick-7.1.0:
config-Q16HDRI  modules-Q16HDRI

How could this happen? Which package contains the old ImageMagick-6.9.11 version?

OK. Found it by accident now.

$ cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
$ ls *6.9.11*
libmagick6-6.9.11.54-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
libmagick6-6.9.11.56-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
libmagick6-6.9.11.58-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

And it is no longer needed by any other package so it can go.

What package owns that directory?

$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.9.11
