I just upgraded to the newest Kubuntu Lucid 10.04 and here we go the first regression, I can’t compile anymore “my” software.
Here is the error:
This installation of RMagick was configured with ImageMagick 6.5.5 but ImageMagick 6.5.7-8 is in use.
So I immediately searched through Launchpad and found that there is already a bug report about that: Bug #518122
That refers to an already fixed bug on Debian bug tracker: Bug #557778
So I just grabbed the Debian testing sources for librmagick-ruby_2.13.0-2 lowered one dependencies and finally compiled under my Lucid aaaaaand here we go, the zip package containing all debs you need to fix this issue! ENJOY!!!

[...] minutes after my first issue with the newest Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 and now already the second using subversion: Debian bug #548773 [...]
I have been testing it for over a month now… again and again… I confess I had to test this also (I run Redmine on Rails on my server – which is now dead cause of this) but amongst the three thousand tests I did run, this has escaped me :-/
I have tried your fix with the debian patch, and it solved my issue
Great job… I am not sure if that is 100% compatible with everything else which might use this lib, but redmine is a O.K.
Do you know what needs to be done to get this patch into a release .deb file in the repository? at least a backport !

I tried to compile the Ubuntu package with only the patch needed to fix the issue, but didn’t work for me, not sure what went wrong, so I decided to compile directly newer version.
[...] If you want a newer version you can use the 2.13.0 packaged here: http://www.marcocimmino.net/2010/05/04/librmagick-ruby_2-13-0-2-for-ubuntu-lucid-10-04/ [...]
