I think problem is not related to debian.
You can try to report problem upstream but I'm afraid that project is
almost dead. You can try alternate solution to upload your picture to
piwigo with a web interface.
Anyway you can change a few lines in the perl package :
/usr/share/perl5/Uploader/GUI/wxApp.pm
Change line 681 :
- if ($self->site_url !~ /^http:/){
+ if ($self->site_url !~ /^http){
I think it can do the trick.
