On line 186 of /usr/share/impressive/impressive.py it is being asked to
import TiffImagePlugin from PIL python-imaging.

impressive.py is not importing from python-imaging *any* the plugins
listed on the line (TiffImagePlugin, BmpImagePlugin, JpegImagePlugin,
PngImagePlugin, PpmImagePlugin). I removed them one by one and the same
error ocurrs with each plugin, "Oops! Cannot load necessary modules: No
module named ***ImagePlugin".

>From just quickly scanning through the code of
/usr/share/pyshared/PIL/TiffImagePlugin.py between the version in
quantal (1.1.7-4build1) and the version in raring (1.1.7+2.0.0-1) there
are substantial differences, 1034 and 860 lines of code, respectively.

If you only use PDF files with Impressive, an immediate workaround which
I've verfied works is to simply comment out line 186 from
/usr/share/impressive/impressive.py.

But if anyone can come up with a real fix, it'd be very appreciated. :-)
