[Bug 859188] Re: E: Internal Error, No file name for libgl1-mesa-glx

[Brian Pitts]

This error also occurs for me. The command I ran was

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx

E: Internal Error, No file name for libgl1-mesa-glx

If I manually remove it via dpkg I can install it via apt-get, but a
subsequent reinstall still fails.

$ sudo dpkg -r --ignore-depends libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-glx

I started down this path because I uninstalled fglrx and after rebooting
I received the error "/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test: error while
loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory"
