Bug Description
Installing packages fails because symlinks have a different size than expected.
What works is manually removing the links, but I suppose that dpkg should not worry about symlinks if they are working.
As this error is summing up, I don't want to manually delete all links,
therefore I just start deleting all of them
e.g.:
rm /usr/share/
rm /usr/share/
in a script.
Here is a reinstallation call
$ sudo apt-get install -f

I suppose this not really a mesa bug as it occurs with many packages which I try to install,
so I'm changing it to dpkg, since that seems to be where symlinks are checked for size
