I was working on scanning documents, creating pdfs, etc. I used the following imagemagick command
===> identify somefile.pdf
and got the error
identify: attempt to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy ‘gs’…
After some research, I commented the last line in /etc/ImageMagick-7/policy.xml. The archwiki has a huge box at the top of the imagemagick page regarding this issue.
<!-- <policy domain=“delegate” rights=“non” pattern=“gs” /> –>
As far as I can tell, there was a security issue(s) with ghostscript and it was addressed, or was it 
. Anyone else run into this? Thoughts?
