The current version of bob.io.image is not compiling properly at the nightlies and that is despite the fact nothing really changed that could break it.

The problem happens on all architectures and Python variants (see, e.g.: https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.nightlies/-/jobs/125060)

The error:

OSError: libgif.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What is strange:

• bob.io.image has not changed since last week where we managed to build it successfuly
• There are no changes on its dependencies and giflib, in particular giflib 1.5.4-3 has not changed for a few months

Any clues?
