I'm sorry, I didnt understand the proper function of a "diversion".  So if a
package tries to install one of the "diverted" files, it gets placed in
/usr/lib/nvidia (with an xlibmesa extension).

So, the libraries in /usr/lib/nvidia are not really used, but kept to store the
"diverted" file?  I guess I got confused when I saw this in /usr/lib/nvidia:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 425320 2006-10-13 03:55 libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     19 2006-11-14 08:53 libGL.so.1.xlibmesa ->
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     17 2006-11-14 17:24 libGL.so.xlibmesa ->
/usr/lib/libGL.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 493686 2006-10-16 19:23 libglx.so.xlibmesa
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 107396 2006-11-14 19:33 libnvidia-cfg.so.1.0.9742
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   2324 2006-11-14 19:33 libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.9742
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root   3220 2006-11-14 19:33 tls_test
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   3384 2006-11-14 19:33 tls_test_dso.so

Note the links of libGL.so.*.xlibmesa.  It didnt seem correct when I first
glanced at it.

Best Regards.
