That error is from MESA's libGL.so.1

Your installation is likely broken. Please run

reportbug -N 879041

from the system with the trouble to collect system info of your nvidia
installation.

I don't care. The installer is nvidia's stuff and we don't use it at all
for the Debian packages. They probably don't understand the Debian
layout. And they probably don't care about us either :-)
And perhaps the libglvnd packages in Debian are just too new to be
recognized by nvidia-installer. They just ship an ancient snapshot ...
that cannot be used on Debian.
