Hello

Because nettle is not slotted, it's not legal to depend on older version of the package, causing downgrade of the library on the same stabilization level
Therefore pike shouldn't be in tree in it's current form, needing to fix it, make nettle slottable or mask the package.

Looking to debian package looks like they bumped it and apply a patch to fix nettle-2 compat:
http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/pike7.8/7.8.550-dfsg-1/nettle-2.1.patch

Reproducible: Always
