The way that I had tried to open the JPEG files (I should probably
have included this information), was finding the files, using the File
Manager, clicking on the files with the non-dominant mouse button, and
then selecting the menu option <Open with -> GIMP>.
This method has consistently worked, prior to the occurrence of this
problem, and is useful, in directories full of image files, whose
names (of the files) I do not remember.

That just gives me a web page that displays
"Redirecting you to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=734519";
that goes nowhere.

Haven't tried either of those options, yet.
I was thinking that, due to the circumstances involved, perhaps a
fault lies (?) with the update that was done to the file package.
