[SOLVED] heroku pkg-config install failure

Issue

i'm trying to install phash on heroku using https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-apt. i'd like to use it in my node.js app using https://github.com/mgmtio/phash-image.

I currently have an Aptfile:

cimg-dev
libphash0-dev
libmagickcore-dev

However, I'm currently getting the following error:
