Thank you for your answer. I've never done a restoration from a backup
but I have always problems with OpenGL libraries. I'll try to explain
it. Before the AMD card I had a NVIDIA one. I work with the GPU only
for some CUDA testing, so I used the official NVIDIA driver (not the
Debian package, but the driver downloaded from nvidia.com). But I have
installed also in the system GNU Octave compiled by myself, wich is
linked against GL from libgl1-mesa-swx11. When I installed the NVIDIA
driver, Octave plotting doesn't work because the links to GL from
libgl1-mesa-swx11 were deleted or changed by the NVIDIA driver. The
solution was to reinstall libgl1-mesa-swx11. In this way, the GL
libraries work fine for Octave and I could use the NVIDIA GPU only for
CUDA algebra computations. It is a mess, but it works for me. I
suppose the ls -la /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.2.0 is a
consequence of that (and I don't know if there is any other problem)

Thanks
