Description:

After upgrading to libtiff 4.5.1-2 from 4.5.1-1 lightdm and gdm both crash on start with the error message:

`/usr/bin/lightdm-gtk-greeter: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libtiff.so.6: undefined symbol: jpeg12_write_raw_data, version LIBJPEG_8.0`

Additional info:
* package version(s):

libtiff 4.5.1-2, lightdm 1:1.32.0-4, gdm 44.1-1

* config and/or log files etc.

Please let me know if you need any specific config files and I'll try to get them for you, I am not sure what might be relevant.

* link to upstream bug report, if any

I could not find an upstream report after searching around.

Steps to reproduce:

Install lightdm or gdm, upgrade libtiff.
Downgrading to 4.5.1-1 solved the problem for me and I can boot to my desktop environment again.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  mozjpeg seems to not be a drop-in replacement for libjpeg-turbo and as it is in the AUR is also not supported.
Please install libpjpeg-turbo

@SamWhited: Thanks for the ticket.

I am not able to reproduce this with gdm at all.
What is your current libjpeg version (e.g. `pacman -Qi libjpeg-turbo`)?

Also tried lightdm and it does not crash either.

Potentially there is something wrong with your libjpeg-turbo installation.

You have not rebuilt mozjpeg [1] which replaces libjpeg-turbo on your system for libtiff 4.5.1-2 assuming it is compatible.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mozjpeg is not supported.
Please install libjpeg-turbo (pacman -S libjpeg-turbo).

I just updated libtiff again and installed libjpeg-turbo instead of the mozjpeg that I apparently had installed and can confirm that this does fix the problem and it can boot correctly (thank you, I never would have made the jump from libtiff to it having something to do with the jpeg library and didn't even know I had an alternative one installed). I'm not sure where that leaves this issue; maybe it's something that needs to be upstreamed to mozjpeg.
