Can you unpick that for me Ivan?  I see I now have:

libmagick++-dev is already the newest version 
(8:6.9.11.60+dfsg-1.3ubuntu0.22.04.3+esm2)

That fits with what you are saying about the current version doesn't it?

That's worrying.  I would never knowingly have switched off security 
updates.  Updates in the Ubuntu
"Software & Updates" application has:

Where there are security updates: Download and install automatically

and I see this

root using Clevo2:/etc/apt# grep security sources.list
## review or updates from the Ubuntu security team.
## security team.
## or updates from the Ubuntu security team.
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security main restricted
# deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security universe
# deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security multiverse
# deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security multiverse

That's covering all of main, universe, multiverse and restricted for 
security updates isn't it?

TIA,

Chris
