OK, you might have to solve this one by hand. Try this...
dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/gdk-imlib-dev_1.9.14-6_i386.deb
apt-get dist-upgrade
bug gdk-imlib-dev (and explain that /usr/bin/imlib-config is also
supplied by imlib-base and should have a sane way of dealing with
this).

Apparently not. Looks like a DD is supplying the same file as another
package and apt isn't willing to stomp it on it's own. One of those
two packages shouldn't have that file but it's not clear to me which
one and I don't forsee serious breakage from stomping over one version
by hand in this case.
