Comment 5 for bug 549325

From a fresh installation using VirtualBox:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
restart
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
ls -la /usr/lib32/libGL* not found
sudo apt-get install mesa-utils ia32-libs
ls -la /usr/lib32/libGL*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2010-03-28 19:59 /usr/lib32/libGL.so -> mesa/libGL.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2010-03-28 19:59 /usr/lib32/libGLU.so -> libGLU.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2010-03-28 19:59 /usr/lib32/libGLU.so.1 -> libGLU.so.1.3.070701
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 456380 2010-02-19 09:25 /usr/lib32/libGLU.so.1.3.070701

mesa-utils is required by another native application - playonlinux.

I had previously (when it was installed) downloaded the nvidia-current source and extracted the libGL-<nvidia-current version> and put it in the /usr/lib32 folder and attempted to symlink it to libGL.so and libGL.so.1. ldconfig did not properly update which it was my understanding that it was supposed to but I am not sure. Something is getting broken after mesa-utils install takes place so maybe it is a mesa-utils issue. At any rate there is a problem because the normal auto library linking that should be taking place is not.
