2016-08-12 21:46:36 Jeremy Bícha description 1. The current version of imagemagick in Ubuntu since at least 15.04 (!) no longer supports jasper for JPEG2000 support but support openjpeg2 instead. See bug 1447968 . In other words, the current dependency on jasper does nothing. 2. jasper will be removed from Debian really soon because it has been abandoned upstream for a while. https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/jasper-rm.html 3. From what I can tell, imagemagick is the last thing keeping jasper in Ubuntu main. openjpeg2 is not in main yet, see bug 711061 . Interestingly, jasper apparently was never explicitly reviewed for inclusion in main and probably would not have been allowed in main had a review happened any time recently. I'm attaching a debdiff for sponsoring to remove the useless jasper dependency. Thanks!
