Hello, I am working with ros2 foxy and nav2. I am using a map server to publish a static map for my global_costmap node. and I am also using a map_saver so I can call the service /map_saver/save_map whenever I need. This service is called in a python node with the following code : (The fill_map function is used to process the .pgm file created)

req = SaveMap.Request()
    req.map_topic = "/global_costmap/costmap"
    req.map_url = self.last_map
    req.image_format = "pgm"## Heading ##
    req.map_mode = "trinary"
    req.free_thresh = 0.1
    req.occupied_thresh = 0.65
    try:
      while not self.client_save_map.wait_for_service(timeout_sec=1.0):
        self.get_logger().info('service "save_map" not available, waiting again...')
      future = self.client_save_map.call_async(req)
      future.add_done_callback(self.fill_map)
      rclpy.spin_until_future_complete(self, future)
   except Exception as e:
     return 1

When this code calls the service to save the map I get the following error half the time :

[map_saver_server-15] [INFO] [1657705013.677320999] [map_saver]: Saving map from '/global_costmap/costmap' topic to 'map_20220713_113653' file

So I looked at the mentionned file and nothing seemed wrong :

temp file :

 /**:
      ros__parameters:
        use_sim_time: true

config file (striped down to important nodes) :

It seems to be a know issue (https://github.com/ros-planning/navig...) and to resolve it one must simply build from source magick but i can't figure out how to do it. I would greatly appreciate any direction as to where to search ? Thank you all for taking the time to read my question
