Bug#963722: gnome-photos iOS photo import does not work without gvfs-fuse

[Diego Escalante]

Package: gnome-photos
Version: 3.34.2-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?

I installed `gnome-photos` and tried to import photos from my iPhone,
but the app showed me a grid of "broken" (symbolic) thumbnails.

Trying to import photos anyway did not seem to work and many warnings
like the following would be printed to the journal:

Unable to get filename from URI gphoto2://Apple_Inc._iPhone_31c7f286debf300e6f6a929b7b72bcea8dd175f1/DCIM/113APPLE/IMG_3797.JPG: The URI “gphoto2://Apple_Inc._iPhone_31c7f286debf300e6f6a929b7b72bcea8dd175f1/DCIM/113APPLE/IMG_3797.JPG” is not an absolute URI using the “file” scheme

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?

Mounting the iPhone in `nautilus`, or locking/unlocking did not make any
difference.

Finally, on a whim, installing `gvfs-fuse` solved the issue.

* What was the outcome of this action?

`gnome-photos` should -at least- recommends `gvfs-fuse` so that its
"Import" functionality works, because otherwise it's simply broken.

* What outcome did you expect instead?

`gnome-photos` recommends `gvfs-fuse` so that iOS import works out of
the box (on most boxes).


Note that `gnome-core` does have a relationship to `gvfs-fuse` BUT you
don't have to install `gnome-core` if you simply want `gnome-photos`.

I would suggest a `Recommends:` be added.

Thanks!
