Bug Description

The package libgl1-mesa-glx is marked to break nvidia-current, and this is probably true.
The problem is that when I install nvidia-current, removing libgl1-mesa-glx makes lots of other packages to be uninstalled.
So I needed to create a fake, empty libgl1-mesa-glx package without "break", install it and then install the nvidia-current package to make everything working as excepted.
