I'm curious about this as well.  From the submission thread [1], it
seems to have been discussed on IRC, and I think it happened here [2].

bug#64981: GTK4 applications broken (missing libGLESv2)

[Csepp]

for example:
$ transmission-gtk
Couldn't open libGLESv2.so.2: libGLESv2.so.2

I get the same error with Tuba.  It likely affects other applications.

bug#64979: ghc-exceptions broken on i686 leads to lots of broken packages

[Csepp]

This came to my attention when trying to reconfigure my netbook, which
uses earlyoom, which requires Pandoc to build its docs.

Well, "they" is me :) I finally opened up anonymous access via git://
but I'm not extatic about it, it's one more daemon that can be pwnd.

The dedicated service did not work so I rolled my own as a
sheperd-root-service. I did not have the time to look into the issue.

So the problem remains, but is less urgent because it has been worked
around for now. Fixing this upstream seems like a hard battle.
