You should be able to install ImageMagick directly from Ubuntu software sources:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install imagemagick

I had a similar problem and tried sudo apt install and sudo apt update, ...apt upgrade, ...apt-get partitial... purge... autoreinstall etc. etc.
but i didn't recognized that apt-get and aptitude are different ways to get packages.

At the end that was my solution:
sudo aptitude reinstall <package/app/missing deb>
an other version i found is following (but I don't tried because that worked fine):
sudo aptitude reinstall -f <package/app/missing deb pkg>

{In my case it was sudo aptitude reinstall libmagick++-6.q16-7:amd64 just to make it clear}

I hope it helps someone like it helped me
