jasper has been removed from Debian for the stretch release (and following that, the archive in general). It's been unmaintained for nearly a decade, please also see: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=812630 Your package uses jasper, so please either remove the JPEG2000 functionality or move to a supported implementation (e.g. openjpeg or ffmpeg). A removal tracker has been setup by the release team at: https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/jasper-rm.html I'm currently working on automation scripts for provisioning build.gimp.org. During my automation I noticed libjasper-dev has been removed from Debian Stretch/Testing. In my notes, I have libjasper-dev as a dependency for GEGL. According to https://build.gimp.org/job/gegl-master/998/consoleFull the latest GEGL build seems to still depend on it "Jasper: yes"
In the upstream debian report it says it is replaced by openjpeg.
