Description of problem: 
Ghostscript is unable to convert adobe pdf version 1.7 with jpeg2000 data to thumbnails. During the conversion process convert prints "ERROR: Unable to process JPXDecode data. Page will be missing data.". Once ghostscript has finished processing the data no thumbnails are produced.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ghostscript-8.70-14.el5
ImageMagick-6.7.8-3

How reproducible:
Reliable with Valve Handbook

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the Valve Handbook (http://newcdn.flamehaus.com/Valve_Handbook_LowRes.pdf)
2.convert Valve_Handbook_LowRes.pdf -debug all -quality 100 -density 150 -resize x1080 -colorspace YUV /tmp/Valve_Handbook_LowRes_pdf_images.%d.jpg
3.
  
Actual results:

   **** ERROR: Unable to process JPXDecode data. Page will be missing data.


Expected results:
Convert should output thumbnails for each page in the pdf file. The output directory is /tmp/Valve_Handbook_LowRes_pdf_images.%d.jpg where %d is the page number from the pdf.

Additional info:
It appears this issue is related to jasper. I attempted to build the ghostscript rpm with jasper support using jasper-devel from base. However, I ran into an issue where I needed to reactivate a jasper patch (http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-commits/2008-February/msg09468.html) so that the rpm would build correctly. I then saw different error messages with the new rpm. The error messages were:
**** Warning: File has insufficient data for an image.
error: cannot decode code stream
unable to decode JPX image data.

Those error message led me to a ghostscript bug report (http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692820). It appears that ghostscript is now being bundled with its own version of jasper. Ghostscript has modified jasper but the modifications were not accepted upstream by jasper per the last comment, "libjasper is the one which contains subtantial enhancements/bug-fixes which were not taken up by upsteam.". I then noticed that line 95 removes the bundled jasper library. After removing the "rm jasper" command in the spec file the rpm built successfully and correctly converts pdf files with jpeg2000 data embedded in them.

I have attached a patch for the spec file. I am not sure if this is the correct approach to fix the problem or if the base jasper should be fixed to correct the issue.

RHEL-5.10 (the next RHEL-5 minor release) is going to be the first production phase 2 [1] release of RHEL-5.
Since phase 2 we'll be addressing only security and critical issues.
I'm closing this ticket as WONTFIX because this problem is neither security nor critical.

jasper upstream has been dead for couple years so the only way this can be fixed is by patching the jasper we ship in Fedora/RHEL.

There's no way we can ship bundled libraries, no.
But if you have some idea what should be fixed in jasper fill a bug against jasper. You should choose Fedora as a product, because such a low severity bug will never gain enough priority in RHEL.
