A couple of ideas:
1) libgnutls has been upgraded and it uses newer symbols from libnettle
   without a proper versioned dependency on it
2) libnettle has been upgraded, removing symbols used by libgnutls (that
   would be an ABI break)

So either there was an ABI break, or there's a too low dependency in 
those two packages.
