Package: xlibmesa-gl
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4
Severity: normal

I have Xorg 6.9 includin xlibmesa-gl and nvidia-glx installed.
xlibmesa-gls' libGL.so libraries are diverted by nvidia-glx. Now there ar two 
libGL.so...
libararies: libGL.so.1.2 from xlibmesa-gl and libGL.so.1.0.ABCD from nvidia-glx 
(ABCD depending
on the driver version).
Both have an soname of libGL.so.1
Whenever a shared library is installed by any package ldconfig may run. 
Ldconfig creates symbolic links in
/usr/lib based on soname and file name of the libraries it finds to the most 
recent version it.
Now since both libGL candidates have the same soname, but mesas' has a so.1.2, 
ldconfig creates
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.2. Thus the mesa variant gets used despite 
the installation of nvidia-glx.
Programs depending on accelerated GL (like cedega) fail or have a redeced 
preformance.
