How did you manage to install both? They should have been conflicting
forever.
What "problematic" versions do you currently have installed?

Can you try to purge nvidia-glx first and reinstall it (using the
current version) later after you got rid of nvidia-glx-legacy-173xx?

After fixing your nvidia setup you may want to reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx
and libgl1-mesa-dev (if you had them installed), because messing with
the diversions might have lost/corrupted the original files.
