Bug#597452: nvidia-glx: libGL.so symlink missing

[Manuel Bilderbeek]

Package: nvidia-glx
Version: 195.36.31-3
Severity: normal

Since I installed the latest version of the package, the libGL.so
symlink is missing. Linked programs run fine, but compiling against
libGL fails in the link phase because of this.

$ ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Sep 13 20:35 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> /etc/alternatives/libGL.so.1

no libGL.so :(
