Image::Magick Unknown version installed

I have some problems to make all dependencies for NatSkin and dependencies running on my system.

$ perl tools/dependencies

Image::Magick   Image::Magick Unknown version installed *Version 6.2.4.5 required for  Used by: ImagePlugin* Image::Magick version >= 6.2.4.5 required-- installed version is 0

It's a clean official install v2.1.6 on Ubuntu 20.04

I have tried to re-install, disable/enable ImagePlugin and also I have tried to install Image::Magic with CPAN.

Actually, I have an error installing the module with CPAN. I do not know CPAN though.

$ sudo cpan Image::Magick

I'm out of ideas on how to make it work.

Image::Magick is not installable via cpan. You'll have to download it from here.

Best solution by today is to use Alien::ImageMagick. This downloads and compiles the most recent version automatically.
