There's an incompatibility between libnettle4 and libnettle6, when both are linked into the same process. Which typically hapens if a program links explicitly to both nettle ant gnutls and gnutls in turn links with a different version of nettle. So there's a transition where things break in the middle of it. As far as I understand (I'm not a debian maintainer) the idea was to have all packages using nettle rebuilt to link with libnettle6, and not let libnettle6 migrate from unstable to testing until those rebuilds are complete so that all the packages can migrate to testing more or less simultaneously. Have you done a apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, to make sure the kde packages and their dependencis are up-to-date? Maybe it would help to describe whick packages you have installed which still depends on libnettle4, something like apt-cache rdepends --installed libnettle4 And as for starting gimp, kde packages using libnettle4 shouldn't matter, the important thing is if any of the libraries or plugins used by gimp still link to libnettle4.
