Fix Missing ImageMagick Package on Ubuntu 14.04 – Solutions

14.04imagemagick

Usually I had installed Image Magick on my Ubuntu systems with a command like this

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

or like this:

sudo apt-get install php5-imagick

Right now I am running the latest 14.04, and those packages seem to have disappeared from the repositories. Am I missing something? Have they been obsoleted? How could I install ImageMagick now?
