Yes, you will need to resolve this. Looks like your libGL is from an
earlier nvidia version so it is not linked to the newer versions.

This is why I don't use any of them fancy pants repo distros. But that
is a personal preference / discussion for another time.

Since Nvidia stomps on quite a few files, AND blacklists the nouveau
driver (check in /etc/modprobe.d in most distros) you simply can't
switch willy nilly.

Your best option might be a CLEAN upgrade, not a dist-upgrade, to
restore the proper functionality.  Looks like 19 is out now.

Have fun!
