AFAICT this file is non-existent, should be .gz instead.
Now I would normally file a bug about this, but I want to check first
if this is a genuine bug, or some sort of RPM or Fedora Makefile
trickery, like it automatically generates a bzip file or something.
Can someone tell me?
For a while, Red Hat was fetching source and recompressing it to bz2 to
gain a little space. I don't think anybody is doing it now, but this
may be a remnant from that time (since the JPEG reference source hasn't
changed in a long time).
I would say that at this point it would be good to switch back to the
original (pristine) source; saving a few K by recompressing isn't worth
it.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
