Did you type that error in by hand? I feel pretty sure that none of my packages tried to install ANYTHING do a directory called "/ust". If you did make a typo there... Is /usr/include/GL a symbolic link on your system? If so, you may need to purge and reinstall both packages. This would be a dpkg bug, not a bug in my packages -- they don't attempt to install a symbolic link to that location. -- G.
