You can search for any packages in ubuntu doing a sudo apt-cache search libmagickwand-dev and if you find the package you are looking for then install it doing sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev,

Installing all the unmet dependencies should fix the problem, and it is always helpful to do the commands below to upgrade any missing packages

sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get update

You should be able to install rmagick without any issues after this.
