Good questions:

$ cd /etc/ld.so.conf.d/
/etc/ld.so.conf.d
$ grep i386 *
i386-linux-gnu.conf:/lib/i386-linux-gnu
i386-linux-gnu.conf:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu

No, its not.
$ dir /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Sep 13 2015
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGLU.so.1 -> libGLU.so.1.3.1
# find /usr -name libGL.so.1
./lib/mesa-diverted/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
./lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
./lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
# ls -al lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Mar 21 2017
lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.2.0
So why would "mesa-diverted" be here, and nothing pointing to it? Let
me try adding the mesa-diverted directory to the ld.so.conf.d and see
what happens.
# cat local.conf
/usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu
# ldconfig
# ldconfig -p | grep libGL.so.1
libGL.so.1 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
libGL.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
Thank you that worked. Now why on one system and not another, both
Debian stable, that is the great mystery.
