Bug#917267: glx-diversions cannot be uninstalled

Hi Andreas,

No, I just de-selected all the relevant packages in aptitude, and then
pressed g ;-)

Sorry, since I need to use this computer I ended up doing
	dpkg --force-depends --purge libgl1:amd64 libgl1:i386
	dpkg --purge glx-diversions
	apt install libgl1:amd64 libgl1:i386

It is a bit special configuration: It is a laptop with Intel GPU, which
is synced to my main computer having an nvidia gpu. I install TensorFlow
with GPU support on the nvidia/main machine. I sync the stuff in
/usr/local with unison. 

I want to be able to run tensorflow on my laptop, too, but with the
installation from the nvidia machine it does not work due to missing
libraries. So installed the missing libraries from nvidia, but use the
intel driver.

Now, on the main desktop I can run tensorflow with GPU support, and on
the laptop I run the same, but due to missing nvidia card it falls back
to using CPU only.

I admit this is a special setup, but apt allowed me to install the
nvidia libraries in parallel to the intel driver and mesa gl stuff.

I tried to revert the whole bunch due to strange problems on my desktop
(Cinnamon) which does not properly show notifications, some programs
don't start with very strange exception related to X. So I thought that
the nvidia libs might be a problem and reverted ...

Happy and peaceful holidays, and a great start into the new year!

Norbert
