Comment 8 for bug 177609

Yes it is the same bug. The reason why this whole thing occurs is that
xserver-xorg-core conflicts with xserver-xorg-video. Both nvidia-glx and
xorg-driver-fglrx provide xserver-xorg-video. In other words, both
nvidia-glx and xorg-driver-fglrx require xserver-xorg-core, in order to be
installed. But xserver-xorg-core states that it cannot coexist with these
two packages. So we have this problem.
