Description
Python - 3.5
Ubuntu 17.04
I have face-recognition working in docker, but I'd like to run the latest version outside of that. After what appears to be a successful install, I get the following when I attempt to run it:
gpp8p@woozel:/media/gpp8p/ExtraDrive1/frecog_1028/face_recognition$ python3 ./examples/recognize_faces_in_pictures.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./examples/recognize_faces_in_pictures.py", line 1, in
import face_recognition
File "/home/gpp8p/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/face_recognition/init.py", line 7, in
from .api import load_image_file, face_locations, batch_face_locations, face_landmarks, face_encodings, compare_faces, face_distance
File "/home/gpp8p/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/face_recognition/api.py", line 4, in
import dlib
File "/home/gpp8p/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/dlib/init.py", line 1, in
from .dlib import *
ImportError: libjpeg.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Checking my libraries, I notice that I have libjpeg.so.8
gpp8p@woozel:/media/gpp8p/ExtraDrive1/frecog_1028/face_recognition$ ldconfig -p | grep -i libjp
libjpeg.so.8 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so.8
Is this a Ubuntu 17.04 issue that might be resolved by upgrading to 17.10, or is there a way I can upgrade this specific library only ?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the import failure from examples/recognize_faces_in_pictures.py under Python 3.5 on Ubuntu 17.04, following the reported dlib import path. Investigate the libjpeg.so.9 dependency versus the installed libjpeg.so.8, and consider the issue resolved only when the supported installation or dependency behavior is clearly established.
