I had the same issue, the following seemed to have fix it:

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main"
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libjasper1 libjasper-dev

I had the same issue, the following seemed to have fix it:

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main"
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libjasper1 libjasper-dev

Still doesn't work for me. I have the same problem here.

So this is LibJasPer:

https://ece.engr.uvic.ca/~frodo/jasper/

I'm building it without that package installed all the way up to Ubuntu 20.10 without any problems. It's a JPEG2000 reference implementation skimming over that. I don't think you need to bother unless you're working in the niche applications it's used in for maybe its lossless qualities (Medical imaging and sattelite remote sensing are actually examples in what I read it's used for which makes sense for opencv) - Or in case it starts getting widely adopted.

Feel free to add this to cmake:

cmake -D WITH_JASPER=OFF

I had the same issue, the following seemed to have fix it:

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main"
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libjasper1 libjasper-dev

Still doesn't work for me. I have the same problem here.

$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main"
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 3B4FE6ACC0B21F32
$ sudo apt update
$  sudo apt install libjasper1 libjasper-dev

It's work for me.

It may be that the Ubuntu version doesn't match. He is providing software sources for Ubuntu 16.04.

This helped but you have to find and convert the keys and libjasper1 doesn't exist on Debian 12
Thanks to both users that helped
