Thanks, this confirms what I expected. As a workaround, you can install
libevas1-engines-x and ephoto should work.
Mostly a note to self, I'm about to head on vacation for a week: the problem is
in the way libevas1 pulls in the engine backends. libevas1 depends on
libevas1-engine, which is a virtual package. In some cases, apt fulfills this
with the wayland engine only. Since wayland-only is less common, that Depends
should be changed to libevas1-engines-x | libevas1-engine.
Thanks for the report and sorry for the trouble,
Ross
