    Summary:
    Convert requires gs to convert file.

    Command was:
    "
    convert -font Arial -pointsize 36 -draw 'text 820,635 "100 Hours"' Timestep100.tga Timestep100.tga
    "
    gs should be listed as dependency of imagemagick, as it requires it to convert on some conversions.

    convert is perfectly useful even without gs; only some image formats
    require it. Having gs installed isn't required therefore, but it's
    suggested. And indeed, if you apt-cache show imagemagick, gs is listed
    with 'Suggests'. (Package managers like aptitude or dselect can be
    configured to honour Suggests.)

    Regards,

    Daniel.
