Can't install rmagick gem on Ubuntu 13.04

Question

When I try to install rmagic with:

gem install rmagic

it gives error:

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing rmagick:

I tried to search for problem and found that I am missing libmagickwand-dev. I tried to install it with:

sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev

but it raises error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libmagickwand-dev : Depends: libmagickcore-dev (= 8:6.7.7.10-5ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

If I try to install it with:

sudo apt-get install libmagickcore-dev

it gives error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libmagickcore-dev : Depends: librsvg2-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

If I try to install it with:

sudo apt-get install librsvg2-dev

it gives error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 librsvg2-dev : Depends: libglib2.0-dev (>= 2.24.0) but it is not going to be installed
                Depends: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev (>= 2.23.5-2) but it is not going to be installed
                Depends: libcairo2-dev (>= 1.2.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

If I try to install libglib2.0-dev with:

sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev

it gives error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libglib2.0-dev : Depends: libglib2.0-0 (= 2.36.0-1ubuntu1) but 2.36.0-1ubuntu2 is to be installed
                  Depends: libglib2.0-bin (= 2.36.0-1ubuntu1)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

If I install libglib2.0-0 with:

sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-0

it gives:

libglib2.0-0 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

If I install libglib2.0-bin with:

sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-bin

it gives:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
libglib2.0-bin is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Those 2 libs are installed but issuing again:

sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev

it gives same error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libglib2.0-dev : Depends: libglib2.0-0 (= 2.36.0-1ubuntu1) but 2.36.0-1ubuntu2 is to be installed
                  Depends: libglib2.0-bin (= 2.36.0-1ubuntu1)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

What could be problem here?

I am using Ubuntu 13.04, rbenv, ruby 2.0.0, if that matters.

Answer 1

try this out

first install imagemagick

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

and then

sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev

Answer 2

Solution is to add ppa where those libs could be found.

Add PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/testing

Then update package list:

sudo apt-get update

Finally install it with:

sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev

Answer 3

Try clearing your apt repository and removing any broken packages first:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove

If the system identifies any broken packages, forcefully remove them (replace package_name with your own):

sudo dpkg --remove -force --force-remove-reinstreq package_name

Then reinstall any missing packages again.
