Last week, I also had a problem with downloading pictures from my 
digital camera (Canon Powershot A620) with gThumb. I think it was caused 
by an update of libgphoto from the backports repository. After restoring 
the old version, everything works again. Maybe you are experiencing the 
same problem?
