inkscape: symbol lookup error: inkscape: undefined symbol: _ZN6Magick5Image4readERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEE

After different combinations of search stumbled upon only an old not closed thread by keyword _ZN6Magick5Image4readERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEE
otherwise nothing

after switching to stable version inkscape by

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:inkscape.dev/stable

now receiving

inkscape: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/../lib/inkscape/libinkscape_base.so: undefined symbol: _ZN6Magick5Image4readERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEE

Should these all be removed

If it helps I installed ImageMagick 7 manually (off course) because somewhere in the first episode of the search engine search it occurred me to do:

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall libMagick++

resulting in

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 graphicsmagick-libmagick-dev-compat : Conflicts: libmagick++-dev
 Conflicts: libmagick++-dev:i386
 Conflicts: libmagickcore-dev but 8:6.8.9.9-7ubuntu5.13 is to be installed
 Conflicts: libmagickcore-dev:i386

I suspect that three libraries in the /usr/local/lib cause problems:

libMagick++-6.Q16.so.5 => /usr/local/lib/libMagick++-6.Q16.so.5 (0x00007f64a3a39000)
libMagickWand-6.Q16.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/libMagickWand-6.Q16.so.2 (0x00007f649cc2b000)
libMagickCore-6.Q16.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/libMagickCore-6.Q16.so.2 (0x00007f649c67a000)

You need to remove them with

sudo rm /usr/local/lib/libMagick++-6.Q16.so.5
sudo rm /usr/local/lib/libMagickWand-6.Q16.so.2
sudo rm /usr/local/lib/libMagickCore-6.Q16.so.2

and install deb-packaged instead

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libmagick++-6.q16-5v5:amd64
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libmagickwand-6.q16-2:amd64
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libmagickcore-6.q16-2:amd64

Then use any version of Inkscape. Start with deb-packaged version (i.e. 0.91-7ubuntu2).

Note: it seems that you have compiled ImageMagick manually sometimes ago. So you have had those libraries in the /usr/local/lib. This is not recommended, as you can get library mess (as you see from this issue).
