Your system is partly broken by having used the nvidia installer in the
past. I've been working around a set of common cases, but not yours, yet.
To fix your system without waiting for a fixed upload do the following:

* delete /usr/lib32/nvidia/diversions/libGL.so.1
* reinstall libgl1-nvidia-alternatives-ia32
* reinstall ia32-libs
* finish your upgrades

Afterwards please use reportbug to provide additional information (and
run the script that collects information again):
  reportbug -N 626399
and select 'x'
I want to see what is left over from nvidia installer afterwards.
Also provide me the output of
  ls -la /usr/lib{,32}/lib{GL,*nvidia,cuda}*

> here the complete output of the install attempt:

Thanks for the log. I see what happened. I just need to copy some
additional sanity checking code from libgl1-nvidia-alternatives to
libgl1-nvidia-alternatives-ia32 to automatically fix this on installation.
