This is unfortunately due to Ubuntu packaging policies, wherein it's not
allowed to ship the entirety of the upstream -bad set via the main
repositories, but some bad plugins are hard-dependencies of other main
packages (like GNOME). camerasrcbin is one such plugin (needed by camera
apps like GNOME Snapshot for instance). The Ubuntu packaging has been
patching -good with camerasrcbin for this reason, and jpegformat
unfortunately came along with it. Updating to the 1.24 and beyond
version of jpegformat would require bringing more things over from -bad
(e.g., codecparsers), so Ubuntu has stayed on the old version to avoid
adding more downstream patches.

I'm working on resolving this issue. Seems like jpegformat doesn't
actually need to have been patched into -good to begin with, so
hopefully by 25.10 we can restore its latest version back to the -bad
set.

Title:
  Ubuntu version of jpegparse is from 1.18 and not 1.24 as claimed

Status in gst-plugins-good1.0 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  While testing an application I'm working on, I noticed it fails with
  Ubuntu's version of GStreamer but not with Debian's.

  My application tries to use decodebin to decode some JPEGs. It needs
  this bug in jpegparse fixing:

  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/3983

  That's when I noticed that Ubuntu has moved jpegparse into gst-
  plugins-good, but the version is very out of date. It looks like it
  has not been updated since around 1.18 and there have been some major
  changes since then. Please update jpegparse to 1.24 in Ubuntu.

  I'm guessing the other imported elements are also out of date, but I
  didn't check them. I also haven't checked if Ubuntu is behind on any
  other issues due to this.
