Then this is not a bug in libgl1-mesa-dev at all, it's a bug in the
nvidia-glx package that you had installed which failed to remove its
diversions properly. You will need to remove this diversion by hand using
dpkg-divert --remove.

The problem is that, in spite of the error message, the diversion is causing
dpkg to try to unpack this symlink under /usr/lib/nvidia -- which of course
doesn't exist.
