JPEG problem

Yesterday a strange problem appeared: some programs which deal with jpg files fail to do it with sometimes the following error in the console: libpng error: Not a PNG file

Most notably, I cannot start Savage XR: it fails to load maps stored as jpg files locally.

It seems all necessary packages for working with jpeg are installed. What me to do now?

i don’t know the program, but apparently it expects png files but is
getting jpeg files…
png != jpeg

All maps there are in jpg format. They are automatically downloaded from server. And also there is a map pack, I have downloaded it, but also without any success.

Maybe something wrong with Exif, but re-installing it does not help

then, there is a bug somewhere!
because look at the error message:

“libpng error: Not a PNG file”

why is it expecting a png, when there are none available???
