I upgraded to Debian GNU/Linux 9.4 (stretch) , and now ImageMagick doesn't work.

convert --version gives this error:

convert: error while loading shared libraries: libIlmImf.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I try to install libIlmImf.so.6 or libopenexr6 with sudo apt-get install and I get this:

E: Unable to locate package libIlmImf
Package libopenexr6 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libopenexr6' has no installation candidate

I've reinstalled ImageMagick but no luck yet, any hints how to get ImageMagick back online working?

FWIW, the version of ImageMagick I installed was installed via sudo apt-get install like this:

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

    In Debian stretch, imagemagick is a dummy package depending on imagemagick-6.q16, which is at this moment version 8:6.9.7.4+dfsg-11+deb9u5. Please show what versions of imagemagick and imagemagick-6.q16 you currently have installed (add this info to the question).

According to the package search page of Debian there are these packages:
