Are you sure? I just remembered about #195510 (which can't be fixed yet
unfortunately), so the version number I saw displayed in the apt-get remove
output would not have been the installed version, but the new version.
Perhaps you had an older version of libgphoto2-2 installed which did not
have this dependency.
So my theory would be that the problem resolver, in an attempt to fix the
breakage caused by removing one of the dependencies, attempts an upgrade,
which fails because the same dependency exists in the newer version.
However, in the process, a new dependency in the new version of the upgraded
package is marked for installation (and this change is not unwound).
