Marc, do you plan to merge libjpeg-turbo with Debian? They current version includes the Conflicts required between those packages, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=757860 we should at least do the same to our current version (would be nice to update as well though)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I've been getting this error about libjpeg-progs for a while now.
I removed the package and left libjpeg-turbo-progs installled. It also took xscreensaver-data-extra with it when purged.
I re-installed libjpeg-turbo-progs and xscreensaver-data-extra.

setup an alias so the other updates would complete:

alias udf='sudo dpkg --configure -a'

This bug was fixed in the package libjpeg-turbo - 1.4.2-0ubuntu2
