    that's why we have apt :).
    Try:
    apt-get remove libgphoto2-2
    or if there is an error somewhere
    apt-get remove libgphoto2-2 libgphoto2-2-port0
    or: dpkg -r libgphoto2-2 libgphoto2-2-port0

    To see if all dependencies are satisfied (and/or to correct it):
    apt-get -f install

    Greetz,
    Sebas
