I just encountered the same issue with gimp 2.10.2-1.  I did have
libopenblas-base (0.3.2+ds-1) installed.  Uninstalling it did solve
the issue.  Perhaps adding libopenblas-base to Conflicts would be
appropriate?  Anything else I can do to isolate/test?

Thanks,
Kevin

P.S.  For reference, uninstalling libopenblas-base reverted
libblas.so.3 and liblapack.so.3 to the ATLAS implementations (from
libatlas3-base 3.10.3-7+b1) on my system:
