How I solved this problem:

I uninstalled the broken libgphoto2 package from synaptic.
I ran the command whereis to see if libgphoto was installed somewhere
It gave me /usr/local/lib/libgphoto2* etc
I went to /usr/local and moved all libgphoto2 related libraries to a backup 
folder.
Then installing libgphoto2 from synaptic worked without problems

*Uninstall libgphoto2 from synaptic
$> whereis libgphoto2
$> cd /usr/local/lib/
$> sudo mkdir backup_libgphoto
$> sudo mv libgphoto* backup_libgphoto/
*Install libgphoto2 from synaptic

Not sure if related, but:
While doing the steps above I also downloaded libgphoto tar.gz from sourceforge 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=8874&package_id=8957&release_id=528571

and after extracting it to a folder I ran ONLY ./configure (without make
and make install)

Hope it helps,
Eduard
