Something else that sometimes helps is to try reinstalling the related
packages or purging and reinstalling, it can sometimes be some leftover
configuration files that have changed and haven't been updated
properly since you changed them.

I tried that too. I did apt-get remove gphoto2, apt-get remove gtkam, and even apt-get remove gimp for good measure. Then I did apt-get clean , thinking that might be the way to purge the old stuff (if that wasn't the right way, could someone please tell me how purges are done?)


You need to run apt-get --purge remove <package-name>
to clean out the config files.  I'd suggest recording the session (man
script) in case anything else isn't removed--that way you'll be able to
see the warnings in the script file in case they fly past too fast as
it happens.

  you might also need to remove config files in your home directory
