it is mising one of its dependencies.

I fear you have overlapping applications. But please try to

1) make sure PRICE works. Open it and open an Image from its "Open" menu
2) type "make_services" and then restart GWorkspace
3) let's wait for Philippe explanations

Philippe packages unstable stuff, that is, really what is being tested 
and developed lately so for sure it has to work. I wonder if the 
"switch" from the Debian old-cruft to the super-new-unreleased happened 
smoothly. For sure they can't co-exist.

this is wrong, IMHO. You shouldn't have ".app" bundles in 
/usr/share/GNUstep ? I am confused by your setup.

Lots of apps! well, there is no use to install all *Test.app however you 
have, to view images, PRICE.

I'd mark as missing "LaternaMagica" (single-window image viewer, 
compared to PRICE which is more a multi-document image filtering 
program). GSPdf (a PDF & PS viewer, which wraps ghostscript and is very 
useful for printing preview).

You miss other minor apps, but all the essential stuff seems to be there.
