Public bug reported:
apt-get remove --purge nvidia-glx-177; apt-get install nvidia-glx-177
If /usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so* gets deleted, reinstall nvidia-glx ends up
creating a second identical copy of /usr/lib/tls/libnvidia-tls.so rather
than symlinking to it. This causes the x server to segfault on startup
when using the nvidia if the glx module is loaded, and causes any opengl
app (such as glxinfo) to segault under nvidia with no glx module, or nv
with or without glx.
/var/log/xorg.0.log shows little sign of the cause, even under
--logverbose 9, it segfaults immediately after "Initializing extension
GLX".
Deleting the extra copy and replacing it with a symlink restores normal
functionality, at which point removing and reinstalling nvidia-glx-177
removes and reinstalls the symlink as expected. (!?)
The original cause was upgrading to intrepid with the official nvidia
177.70 driver installed, and then uninstalling that driver afterwards
(the nvidia install log was overwritten in the troubleshooting that
followed, but it did provide a 'the installations has been modified'
warning).
