So. Apparently this has been "fixed" somewhere along the road to Ubuntu 14.04.
The patch is commented out in the debian/patches/series file in version 1.3.0-0ubuntu2. However, the debian/changelog doesn't tell me when that happened (or when it was added, for that matter). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to libjpeg-turbo in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1031718 Title: Obscure error messages caused by ubuntu patch Status in “libjpeg-turbo” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Environment: Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Release: 12.04 libjpeg-turbo8 1.1.90+svn733-0ubuntu4.1 Ubuntu's own patch (FixLibraryStartup.patch) causes obscure "Error opening file for reading: Permission denied" error messages. The patch adds some auxv related stuff to the library init that attempt to read /proc/self/auxv. If it fails the above error is printed usually ending up to application's log that's using the library. Looking at the log it's completely unclear where that error came from and what file was it trying to read. The /proc/self/auxv has 0400 permissions and is owned by the user who started the process. If the process drops privileges and setuid()'s to another user, the file is no longer readable.
