Lee,

I have found that one does not need the
graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat and
graphicsmagick-libmagick-dev-compat packages for XASTIR to build with
_ALL_ options available.

Loaded on my system are both graphicsmagick and imagemagick and other
associated players.  See screenshot of synaptic attached in direct to
you copy of this email.
