This should have been filed against libhighgui or libavecodec51,
libhighgui-dev does have a duplicate bug, see bug #490700

Marillat (which are not official Debian packages) installed, specially
the libavecodec51 package which is the package that provides the
img_convert function the libhighgui.so.1 is looking for.
