Imagemagick for some reason was broken. I tried to apt=get remove etc and then I downloaded and built it.
build did not work, could not find library until
I added /usr/local/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH=
or ran ldconfig as root.

even then when it started it only gave the help screen and seemed to ignore any arguments.

so I looked and found this page. ubuntuforums.org

NOTE: I used a root xterm so I did not use sudo. but using sudo when root really does nothing anyway.

So I changed to /usr/local/ImageMagick-6.8.9-0 where I had built the install

sudo make uninstall as per ianhaycox Frothy Coffee! ubuntuforums.org

then as per sudodus Forums Moderator ubuntuforums.org

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get check
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get purge imagemagick
sudo apt-get install imagemagick

and then praise be imagemagick works.
