Get the new fglrx-driver from unstable, it will use glx-alternative-fglrx. This will allow you to switch between fglrx and mesa libraries (update-alternatives --config glx). Then you don't have to uninstall fglrx any longer to use radeon :-) I'm not sure if you need to work around some kernel module blacklisting ... if you have left any traces of libgl1-diversions or libglx-diversions, purge them But obviously you had old packages from nvidia-graphics-drivers installed.

Could be from glx-alternative-mesa, so remove that package (and any
other glx-alternative-{nvidia,fglrx}, too. Remove glx-diversions as
well. This will probably need some more packages to be removed, you can
install them again later on (if you need them at all).
Eventually remove libgl1-mesa-glx, too.
If that doesn't help, delete /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1 (and
eventually similar links that may produce errors later on), thereafter
the removal of libgl1-diversions should succeed.
Reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx and everything you removed (and still want to
have).
Unfortunately your log does not contain the steps that brought you into
this situation - which package version was upgraded/installed in which
order and what packages (and versions) were installed before.
Eventually /var/log/dpkg.log* has some more history
In my tests upgrades from 0.0.0 to 0.0.1 (which had replaced
libgl1-diversions and libglx-diversions by glx-diversions)) went smoothly.
And there was no package ever (even in experimental) that needed 0.0.0,
the first user was nvidia-graphics-drivers 275.09.07-2 which needed
glx-alternative-nvidia (= 0.0.1), so 0.0.0 and therefore
libgl1-diversions should have been no longer available at that time.
...apart from running out of nuclear ammo, I'm wondering WTF I have to remove
closed source Nvidea cruft from
an ATI graphics laptop running X.org's radeon driver, below paste is a few
days worth of nuclear snippets:
But obviously you had old packages from nvidia-graphics-drivers
installed. Or why did you install libgl1-diversions? Probably as a
dependency of some upgrade, but that couldn't have happened.
And if you want to read a bit about the diversions and alternatives,
there is /usr/share/doc/glx-diversions/README.Debian (in the latest
version).

well. This will probably need some more packages to be removed, you
can install them again later on (if you need them at all).
..this worked, I dpkg -P --force-all etc and then apt-get -f install,
and finally aptitude -t experimental.
Eventually remove libgl1-mesa-glx, too.
..this was thrown out on my apt-get -f install, and
came back in again with my upgrade to Experimental.
If that doesn't help, delete /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
(and eventually similar links that may produce errors later on),
thereafter the removal of libgl1-diversions should succeed.
..ok, my impression was the removal of libgl1-diversions failed
because of an apt or dpkg database conflict, they only see the
permission problem running apt(itude|-get) or dpkg, AFAICT the
file system terrain was ok.
Reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx and everything you removed (and still want
to have).
..done. Now, automate it, so the package gets fixed,
and not just my laptop?

for the same 3 days.
