Installing imagemagick says I have software to be removed

I wanted to install imagemagick and from the commandline typed

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

And was surprised to see all this

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

I answered no at this point as I want to continue to use some of these packages marked for removal but I did notice that the packages that would be removed were graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat and q4os-devpack, so would I be right in guessing that the standard imagamagick from the repo would remove the devpack and q4 imagamagick stuff?
My guess would be that I don't need to install imagemagick separately as I should have the package components via graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat. Is that right?

There is a conflict between older version of 'q4os-devpack' and 'imagemagick' . If you want to install packages alongside, we would recommend to uninstall q4os-devpack, download and install the new version '2.2.2-a1' from Q4OS web and then install 'imagemagick' . This procedure should be ok, please let us know the result.

Thanks for the quick reply, I will try it out and post back the results.

Ok, I removed q4os-devpack but did not do autoremove on the other existing packages, then I installed the new q4os-devpack and then installed imagemagick and all went well. I do have a couple of packages listed as ready for autoremove though they are :-
graphicsmagick
libgraphicsmagick3
libqt4-assistant
libqt4-webkit
My guess would be it is ok to remove these as they are probably old packages, but will wait for confirmation before removing them.

Yes, they are no dependencies more, you can safely autoremove them.
