[Solved] Gnome Image Viewer no longer working for certain jpg files

I just noticed that Gnome Nautilus is displaying some jpg files with the "setting sun and barren tree" thumbnail and if I then click on the thumbnail for file xyzzy.jpg, I get an error dialog with:

  Could not load image "xyzzy.jpg".
  Unsupported number of color components (1)

I'm pretty sure that all of these files are black-and-white scans.  But I could display them previously and I can still display them in Shotwell or Gimp.  I have cleared my thumbnails, rebooted, and updated to the latest software.  Any ideas?

Also thanks to progandy,  I did not post the thanks in the original thread in case it violated Code_of_conduct#No_power-posting.2Fempty_posts

Thanks for the link I was searching the forums for the wrong keyword(s).  Everything works fine now.
