Hello Giovanni,
Firstly, there is nothing specific to natty : if the program links to
the system libtiff, you will have the problem on all the distributions.
The problem comes from the gdal 1.8 source code, where the GTiff driver
is disabled when a tiff version mismatch is detected. This update made
our packages based on ubuntugis-unstable repo unusable (we need to link
to libtiff, so all our binaries would lost TIFF support).
The fix I came out with is to patch the gdal18 debian package to still
register the driver, even if the libtiff version mismatch is issued.
The patched gdal 18 package is available in :
https://launchpad.net/~otb/+archive/orfeotoolbox-nightly
Maybe you can add this repository, reinstall gdal (should pick the
1.8.0-2~natty1+otb1 version), and check if it fixes your problem.
In case it fixes the problem, it will be worth considering integrating
the patch into the ubuntugis package. What are other people's opinion on
this ? Personnally, I'm happy to throw away my patched gdal package
This patch should be only temporary, as the Debian folks are working on
a better solution with versioned symbols, which will fix those kind of
issues.

#3830: no tiff support in Ubuntu 11.04 with ubuntugis gdal (1.8.0)
------------------------------------------------+---------------------------
Reporter: mayeulk | Owner: nobody

1.7.0

Platform: Debian | Must_fix: Yes

------------------------------------------------+---------------------------
libgdal1-dev for Natty from ubuntugis now provides gdal 1.8.0 only which
seems not compatible with the code base or some package (does the code
links to libtiff 3.X ?)
Trying to open a geotif from latest Quantum-GIS-3eb0d66 (release-1_7_0
downloaded Sunday 15 May at 13:08) gives:
"/path/file.tif is not a valid or recognized data source
WARNING ! libtiff version mismatch : You're linking against libtiff 3.X
but GDAL has been compiled against libtiff>= 4.0.0"
The guys from orfeo toolbox seems to have the same issue since about 11th
of May, when "gdal 1.8 debian package has been pushed to ubuntugis-
unstable repository for all ubuntu versions." The consequence being "the
otb packages cannot open a TIFF any more". See:
http://bugs.orfeo-toolbox.org/view.php?id=296
Installed is: libtiff4-dev (3.9.4-5ubuntu6)
