Chris, That message seems a little bizarre. Gimp will open ordinarily open JPEG files natively, and thus shouldn't use a plugin to do this. You may have somehow messed up some configuration settings - and it is using an inappropriate import plugin. Assuming that you don't have any setting or personal Gimp scripts that you want to keep, you can remove your personal settings for gimp with the command "rm -rf ~/.gimp*". (Or simply renaming the .gimp-* directory to say .gimp-old)
They when you launch gimp again it should create fresh and default settings. If that doesn't work, you may want to use your software package managerf to remove and reinstall gimp (and possible clean your personal settings again). BTW do you get the same issue when say opening PNG files?
