Ok, it looks like a few things are broken.

type:
sudo rm /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa

then try to install the package again:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177

And if you get another error with "dpkg-divert" similar to the following but 
concerning another file, just remove the 1st file dpkg-divert complains about 
(`/usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa' in this case) with "sudo rm". Then try 
to install the driver again.
NOTE: you might have to repeat this a few times.

dpkg-divert: rename involves overwriting 
`/usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa' with
  different file `/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2', not allowed

After a few attempts you should be able to install nvidia-glx-177
without complaints by apt.
