ever since I upgraded Debian stable to Debian sid I cannot start audacity. It gives me this error when I start from command line:

audacity: relocation error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwx_gtk2u_adv-3.0.so.0: 
symbol _ZThn696_N15wxComboCtrlBase9WriteTextERK8wxString version WXU_3.0 not
defined in file libwx_gtk2u_core-3.0.so.0 with link time reference

I still cannot find out how to fix this problem.

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwx_gtk2u_adv-3.0.so.0 is provided by the package libwxgtk3.0-0v5 in Debian Stretch and Sid, but the two Debian repositories contain different versions (3.0.2+dfsg-4 for Stretch, 3.0.4+dfsg-7 for Sid).

Did you make sure to upgrade all packages when you switched from Stretch to Sid?

Keep in mind that Sid is the unstable distribution of Debian and thus "subject to massive changes and in-place library updates" that can lead to version mismatches like the one you're seeing here.
In those cases, it is usually best to wait until all packages of the dependency chain (here: Audacity and its libraries) have been updated to be consistent again. If you can't afford delays like this, then, frankly, Sid is not the right distribution for your use case.
