Of course I can't reproduce it…
I given how widespread inkscape is and you're the only one reporting it
makes me believe there is something wrong on your side.

For example, are you sure you are running the binary coming from the
Debian archive?
Our inkscape should be built against libgsl.so.19, not libgsl.so.0 as
your error message reports.

It makes me believe you somehow have the binary coming from jessie,
which was built against libgsl.so.0 indeed.
