No acknowledgement of the message below, from the LTS list, so I am
forwarding the message to this list.
I assume that the LTS list is solely for the developers, and, not for
reporting problems that apparently arise from LTS updates.
Anyway, the problem is new, and, started after one of the LTS updates.
Maybe someone on this list, has an idea of how to fix the problem.
Thank you in anticipation.

Subject: New problem with GIMP plugin file-jpeg
To: debia...@lists.debian.org
Hello.
I have, in the last hour, tried to open a JPEG file, to crop it, using the GIMP.
I was unable to open that file.
I now can not open JPEG files with the GIMP.
The error message returned, includes
"
GIMP Message
Plug-in crashed: "file-jpeg"
(/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-jpeg)
The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may
want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.
GIMP Message
Opening '<file name including path>' failed: Procedure
'file-jpeg-load' returned no return values
"
I replaced the file name and path with
"<file name including path>"
as it does not matter what is the filename; files with the extension
.jpg, are no longer able to be opened with the GIMP.
I believe that recently, an update to the utility "file" was done; I
do not know whether this is a side effect.
I have exited and restarted the GIMP, a number of times, and, tried
with different .jpg files.
I also performed a system update, using apt-get, and, again tried
unsuccessfully to open JPEG files with the GIMP. I am aware of an
update to libjasper, that was installed.
The GIMP will simply no longer open that file type, on my system.
I also get the same error mesage, with .jpeg files
I have just searched for, downloaded, and, successfully opened, a .png
file, opening that file with the GIMP, so I assume that the problem
appears to apply to only JPEG files, using the GIMP.

There is this bug report:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=734519
Perhaps if you tried moving ~/.gimp-2.6 out of the way, or reinstalling
the gimp?

The way that I had tried to open the JPEG files (I should probably
have included this information), was finding the files, using the File
Manager, clicking on the files with the non-dominant mouse button, and
then selecting the menu option <Open with -> GIMP>.
This method has consistently worked, prior to the occurrence of this
problem, and is useful, in directories full of image files, whose
names (of the files) I do not remember.
That just gives me a web page that displays
"Redirecting you to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=734519"
that goes nowhere.

Haven't tried either of those options, yet.
I was thinking that, due to the circumstances involved, perhaps a
fault lies (?) with the update that was done to the file package.

would have been affected, n'est-ce pas?

Your experience with Lucid is totally irrelevant.

I note that that bug report, whilst it refers to the same error
message, relates to a different version of Debian; that bug report
refers to Debian 7.1.
As indicated, I am using Debian 6.x LTS.

named "file", and this problem occurred after that update had been
implemented.
I can not find from the full message header as displayed in gmail,
which version number of Debian, you are using. Are you using Debian
6.x LTS, or, Debian 7.x (or, yet another version of Debian)?
If you are not also using Debian 6.x LTS, then you might not have the
same problem.
If you try to open a JPEG file with the GIMP, using the same procedure
as me; using the File Manager to open the file with the GIMP, are you
successful, with that procedure?
That, you have not indicated.

Well, I think it's an Aurora problem not an url problem.

(gimp <file.jpeg>), as well as from inside the gimp (using gimp's internal
file manager).
Once again, like you, I am running Squeeze lts.

Works in Nautilus using your procedure (well, non-dominant mouse
button--I right-clicked--is that what you mean)?

than "right-clicking", to allow for people who use left handed mice,
as well as right-handed mice. My wife, who is a software developer,
uses mice and pointing devices (she sometimes uses trackball things),
for both hands, due to too much mouse usage, requiring the switching
of hands.
I have since last posting, checked, and found that file-jpeg is part
of the GIMP package, from the packages "Search by package contents"
facility on the packages.debian.org web page, and, not, as I had
assumed, part of the fiole package.
So, I tried the advice - removed then reinstalled the GIMP. That also
removed gnome-office (that I also reinstalled).
Now the GIMP will not load.
I assume, therefore, that my system is becoming even more unstable.

no sense at all to me. None of the four buttons on my trackball are
dominant.

An admirable goal. However I think that is more confusing. A cure

worse than the disease. I think anyone that goes to the trouble to
modify their system to be reversed from the normal will know they have
reversed things and will make the translation on the fly. A user with
a left handed mouse will know to translate left-click into the correct
button for them. They will see it often enough.
Doesn't X documents this as Mouse-1 and Mouse-3? Clicking Mouse-1 is
the primary mouse button. No need to stress left or right and no need
for confusing "non-dominant mouse button" either. :-) I would go
with mouse-1.

We will now denominate the left-handed as "Non-majoritively unidextrous
persons."
Please be advised.
Of course, the lefties have been persecuted for centuries. I once read
that flipping through magazines from back to front (a habit of mine, as
the interesting stuff is always in the back) is the sign of a left-handed
individual who has been deprived in infancy of his natural impulse
towards non-majorititive unidexterity.
I have been dominated.
And so it goes.

No, I'm not going vouch for the study nor bicker with anybody about it
