Hi, I seems that this package have been pushed out of proposed to make way for a security fix.
I've compiled the package by hand to test it, and can confirm that it solves our issue with leaked filedescriptors. Any chance of getting a new version into proposed, so that we can get this fix out? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libjpeg-turbo in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1189939 Title: Initialization leaks file descriptors to /prox/self/auxv Status in “libjpeg-turbo” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “libjpeg-turbo” source package in Precise: Fix Committed Status in “libjpeg-turbo” source package in Quantal: Invalid Status in “libjpeg-turbo” source package in Raring: Invalid Status in “libjpeg-turbo” source package in Saucy: Invalid Bug description: [impact] In precise only, an Ubuntu-specific patch (FixLibraryStartup.patch) causes /proc/self/auxv to be opened on library initialization, but the file is never closed. For long running processes that periodically re-initialize the library (Firefox's plugin-container loading the VLC plugin for me), this leads to the available file descriptors being exhausted. This also causes https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1177684.

Although all it does it properly close the file descriptor, I have not specifically tested it on ARM.
