dlopen /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so failed

[onli]

After upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04, direct rendering was not working. glxinfo showed these errors:

onli@Fallout:~$ glxinfo

libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri /usr/lib/dri

fixed it.
(Re-)Installation of this package should probably check for that symlink, if this is the right place.
