Well ...
so i did the update .. i already did yesterday, but it didn't effect anything. I did some backports in the past, but that isn't fun. I like using the bleeding edge software and doing some experiments with bleeding edge software. So I installed the stable packages once again and receives the same segfault error. Then i removed all the libGL.so*, nvidia and mesa packages. Somewhere there must have been my prob. After I reinstalled them, everything worked again. I think the Problem came from the nvidia 
alternatives packages which created a /usr/lib/libGL directory instead a symbolic link.

By the way: you're doing a great job and my system runs for 7 years now on debian unstable ;-) You couldn't achieve that with other OS. Great!
