Current Rawhide is still affected.

Quick intro: I'm now a comaintainer of ImageMagick, and thus going through all
the open bugs.

This is caused by
/usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.3.8/modules-Q16/coders/svg.so

Which could be put into a seperate sub-package to resolve this, but then we
loose svg support in ImageMagick, which some packages may depend upon, for
example mediawiki does.

So if we want todo this, we should:
1) Only do it in F-10
2) Send a mail to fedora-devel about this, telling people to update there
dependencies if they need svg support from ImageMagick

Note that as mentioned in the initial comment, ImageMagick does have some SVG
support even without librsvg2, see MAGICKCORE_RSVG_DELEGATE ifdefs in
coders/svc.c.  I still don't know exactly what features would be affected if the
librsvg2 dependency would be eliminated, but it certainly seems to me that not
nearly everything SVG related.

I should also mention that I've lost interest in this issue to some extent;
there was no progress nor comments in this bug for so long time that I moved on
and changed/patched dvdauthor to use GraphicsMagick instead, and don't even have
ImageMagick installed any more (for now, *knocks wood*...)

Well, using lib rsvg if present is the upstream default and I would rather not
deviate from that.

I've been thinking some more about this, and the problem isn't that ImageMagick
requires an svg lib, but that the svg lib requires things like gtk ??

So I'm going to blame librsvg2, and combined with you not caring much anymore
I'm going to close this bug.

I just saw someone else reported this too and somewhat more recently, see bug
435454. This has lead me todo some more investigation, this indeed is a librsvg2
issue, as that drags in gnomevfs, or atleast used to, as it no longer does this
in rawhide / F-9.
