Update libjpeg?

[Swedish_newbie]

I have problems with converting jpeg-images with ImageMagick, and i noticed that i have an old version of libjpeg (6.2).
It seems that there aren't any new version for Debian, yet? Am i right?

If not, how can i update/upgrade the library?
Thanks in advance!

I tried to remove libjpeg62, and then install libjpeg8, but it seems that i stil have both.

It's normal to have both versions in Squeeze. Some packages depend on the older version, and some the newer libjpeg8.

In Squeeze, the 62 version supplies the default "libjpeg-dev", but it's provided by libjpeg8-dev in Wheezy.

Ok! But "convert -list format" says that i´m still using the old version instead of version 8.
How to fix that?

I guess that the Squeeze version of Imagemagick was compiled against the older version's headers (the -dev package), so it uses that. Possibly rebuilding the packages against libjpeg8-dev would get it to use the newer version. The alternative is to upgrade to Wheezy and use the program there.

Let me know if you're running 32 or 64-bit, and I'll rebuild the imagemagick packages against the newer libjpeg for you, and see if that works.

My server runs with 64 bit.

Is there any SAFE way to upgrade to wheezy?

It turns out that many of the -dev packages needed to build imagemagick also depend on libjpeg62-dev, and we can't have both that and libjpeg8-dev installed (the apt system has them conflict with each other).

Exactly what problem are you having with converting jpeg images? It seems to me this might be solved without changing any packages, since I think it would be a big bug that would have popped up before, since Squeeze has been out so long.

I have problem with smeard lines on most of my jpeg-files.

Any suggestions?

Well, I'm stumped, unless you can provide a sample of a file that gives the trouble and the convert command used on it. Then someone running wheezy can check to see it the problem is gone there.

Anyone else have any ideas?
