no tiff support in Ubuntu 11.04 with ubuntugis gdal (1.8.0)

[mayeulk]

libgdal1-dev for Natty from ubuntugis now provides gdal 1.8.0 only which seems not compatible with the code base or some package (does the code links to libtiff 3.X ?) Trying to open a geotif from latest Quantum-GIS-3eb0d66 (release-1_7_0 downloaded Sunday 15 May at 13:08) gives:

"/path/file.tif is not a valid or recognized data source WARNING ! libtiff version mismatch : You're linking against libtiff 3.X but GDAL has been compiled against libtiff >= 4.0.0"

The guys from orfeo toolbox seems to have the same issue since about 11th of May, when "gdal 1.8 debian package has been pushed to ubuntugis-unstable repository for all ubuntu versions." The consequence being "the otb packages cannot open a TIFF any more". See:  http://bugs.orfeo-toolbox.org/view.php?id=296

Installed is: libtiff4-dev (3.9.4-5ubuntu6)

The only non standard repositories that I use are those 3: deb  http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu natty main #Third party developers repository deb http://qgis.org/debian-nightly natty main deb-src http://qgis.org/debian-nightly natty main

I installed qgis following the INSTALL guide, and my following home-made script to automate downloading and compile:  http://www.qgis.org/wiki/Talk:Building_QGIS_from_Source

Other related link (with posts from Andreas Neumann) which mentions the problem of code linking to libtiff 3.x (not sure whether it is relevant):  http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/gdal-dev-mod-python-issue-with-libtiff-td5639239.html

Looks like a problem with GDAL packaging in the  ubuntugis repository.
