debian-dependent bug in resize?

[Marius]

Greetings.

I've got a server running Debian (2.6.26-2-686 last built on October 17th), Version: ImageMagick 6.5.7-1.
Using the resize function with the "^" delimiter to fill given area errors and leaves me with a broken image, but if I use any command without a "^" sign, the command works just fine.

The same command works on other servers not running Debian, which is why I am filing it in the bugs forum.

Dear marius,

Could you fill a debian bug report please ? You could use for instance reportbug-ng command that is really nice for reporting debian bug.

Thank you

Any news of this bug ?

have you tried either escaping the ^ (as \^) or putting the size in quotes

convert image -resize WidthxHeight\^ result

or

convert image -resize "WidthxHeight^" result
