well, the original message from you says that the needed symbol can't be 
found.
Means that the library in questions can't be the library that was 
installed by the Debian system for whatever reason.
Simon did show by his analysis that the symbol that is used and needed 
by Pcbnew is existing in the library and by this in the package in the 
right version.

So to me this smells like the existing file 
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libTKernel.* isn't one from the depending package 
libocct-foundation-7.6

Why is a question only you can answer I think. But nvidia stuff has 
nothig to do with this.

You should be able to fix the wrong content by installing 
libocct-foundation-7.6 just again by using

# apt install libocct-foundation-7.6 --reinstall

Maybe more packages need to be fixed.
