The libGL.so.* diversion is only relevant for the no longer supported
legacy drivers up to 418.* that still exist in sid. These are the
version where nvidia shipped vendor specific libGL.so.*. Newer drivers
use glvnd, thus the alternatives are pointing to the diverted libglvnd
libraries, not to vendor libraries. libGLX.so.* only comes with
libglvnd, so there was no point to include that into the diversions.
(But as long as we keep the legacy drivers in sid (there are still
users needing them for legacy ahrdware), we cannot get rid of the
diversions.
I think this explains why the nvidia drivers are not working in
OFFLOAD (optimus) mode, e.g.
That must have some other cause.

libGLX_nvidia.so.0 is not a replacement for libGLX.so.*, it is rather
an implementation that can be loaded by the libglvnd libGLX.so.0
Ok, thanks for checking, anyway. I'll retitle the bug.
If the problem is not libGLX.so, do you have any clues why it's giving
error 152.24 ?
It was previously working fine (around January 2023).
For what it's worth, nvidia now provides a fully supported open source
kernal
module, nvidia-open-kernel-dkms, so the nvidia driver is essentially
no
longer non-free. Please help them complete this change of policy by
supporting use of the driver.
Only the kernel module has source available, all other driver
components are closed source and thus non-free.
Ah, I see. It's one step forward, at least.
