I just checked, and I had libtiff4 installed, liblcms1, libmng1 and 
lprof also. I installed now:
liblcms-utils, libtiff-opengl and libtiff-tools

When I make a new document, make an image frame and then try to import 
one of my images, TIFF is not listed in the dialog box where it says 
which formats are supported.

The tiff-images in the opened directory simply therefore does not show 
as an option (they are not displayed. But diplayed are jpg-images and 
png-images). No error messages.

I have not restarted the machine after the installation, but I suppose, 
on a Linux machine, that hardly should not matter. I started Scribus 
after alle the installations mentioned above was finished, I tried two 
times. Png- and JPG-files import just fine.
