Just in case my previous explanation was too stream-of-consciousness to
follow, the basic problem is that a conflict removes but doesn't purge.
So there weren't any files left from nvidia-glx-legacy-173xx, but the
maintainer script was still there and trying to remove the diversions on a
subsequent purge.
