Yes, I do (actually glx-alternative-nvidia is automatically installed
as its dependency).

In attach the log you requested. Relevant part is right at the file
head (2015-11-03). The log is in Italian, but it should be quite simple
to guess what's happened... :)

Reading the log I can see:

a) errors about diversions while configuring glx-alternative-mesa
(0.7.0) (glx group damaged)

b) right after, the configuration of glx-alternative-nvidia (0.7.0)
keeps complaining about glx group damaged and then it uses (translated
in English) "/lib/nvidia to supply /usr/lib/glx (glx) in automatic
mode" 

I'm not so expert about glx diversion dance so I cannot help you much,
but I guess that log confirms that the problem resides in a post-
install script of glx-alternative-nvidia 0.7.0.

If you need more information, feel free to ask. Thank you for your
work.
