Just noting a couple of things:

This problem effects hugin as well as enblend, hugin also includes 
an older version of the vigra library.

There is a patch to sync the hugin version to vigra-1.6, this needs  
to be applied (although ultimately the intention is to remove this 
code from hugin and move it all upstream).

vigra in enblend should be upgraded too if it can't be removed.
