MuPDF v0.9-2 gives a segfault on Raspberry Pi running Raspian

[Alan Griffiths]

I reported this bug to the MuPDF team first (on bugzilla) and got the follwoing responses. They say it's a build problem in Raspbian... I've tried an "apt-get install mupdf" but it says my version is up-to-date.

Actually, that looks like someone has packaged mupdf for Raspbian, but has done
so badly. This should be reported to the maintainers for Raspbian.

The clue to this is in the error message:

You've got a build mismatch here. You are building with jpeg header files that
don't match the jpeg library you have installed. This is a problem with your
set up, and nothing to do with MuPDF itself. Sorry.

We recommend that you build either from:

 * the last released version of the source (using the libraries in the
mupdf-thirdparty.zip file available for download at the same location).

or

 * from sources obtained from git (using the thirdparty libraries available via
"git submodule update --init")

Is this still an issue?
I tried to reproduce it on my jessie system, but it just worked just fine for me.

I have no idea why 'apt-cache showpkg mupdf' shows those 'null' values, but it does it here too.
