Workaround? libglx-mesa0 : Breaks: glx-diversions (< 0.8.4~) but 0.8.3~deb9u1

Hi,

If I'm asking in the wrong place, please tell me where to go :-)

I'm running Stretch with a few things from backports only when needed.

My new laptop laptop has Nvidia so I am trying to install the drivers so
I can use bbswitch.
Two of the dependencies are libglx-mesa0 and glx-diversions.

Per this bug report
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=903929 they are
flagged to be incompatible. i.e. "libglx-mesa0 : Breaks: glx-diversions
(< 0.8.4~) but 0.8.3~deb9u1 is to be installed"
No problem, I figure I can just install glx-diversions from stretch-
backports, however when I try that apt-get wants to remove  210
packages. I will copy the whole text from apt-get at the end my message.
Do you have any suggestions on how to workaround this problem?

Thanks much!!

Mark
