Yes, ok I have the same libs.  Also, I notice:

golfbuf :~$ dpkg -S modules/libglx.so
diversion by nvidia-glx from: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglx.so
diversion by nvidia-glx to: /usr/lib/nvidia/libglx.so.xlibmesa
nvidia-glx: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglx.so
nvidia-glx: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglx.so.1.0.8762

which, I think means that the nvidia-glx package takes care of
diverting the usual libglx and linking the official nvidia version.

thanks,
