Updated imagemagick packages fix security vulnerabilities

The imagemagick package has been updated to version 6.9.9.41 which fixes several unspecified security vulnerabilities. This update fixes several vulnerabilities in imagemagick, including: Various memory handling problems and cases of missing or incomplete input sanitising may result in denial of service, memory disclosure or the execution of arbitrary code if malformed GIF, TTF, SVG, TIFF, PCX, JPG or SFW files are processed.

Several packages have been rebuilt for the updated ImageMagick.
