Bug Description

Can't import jpg images into Scratch (default system version 1.4 - Trusty). Once imported the picture is nothing and Scrath says 480x360 but 0,01KB.
However, CAN import gif and png.
As you can see in the attachment, the first background is a jpg (nothing 0,01KB), the second one a gif picture and is OK.

This bug could be related to LP bug #1277940 (so.JPEGReadWriter2Plugin not bundled - jpegs fail to load) and Debian bug 744289 - according to comments at Debian bugreport 744289 this problem can be easily fixed:

Me and Tim discussed this, and I've found a fix. The issue is due tothe Debian package inheriting a patch from the original Debian packager making it link against the system libjpeg (rather than libjpeg bundled in the squeak-vm sources). For some reason, it seems squeak-vm isn't happy working with the newer libjpeg, so I've removed that patch and it all seems well.
I'll post here when the updated squeak-vm is added to the PI repository, which should be tomorrow, see http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=15583&start=25
