                dpkg-divert --remove --rename  --package nvidia-glx --divert /usr/share/nvidia-glx/diversions/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 > /dev/null

instead of

                dpkg-divert --remove --rename  --package nvidia-glx --divert /usr/lib32/nvidia-glx/diversions/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1 > /dev/null

You should actually get an override conflict between 32bit nvidia-glx
and 32bit XOrg GL stuff. But maybe you don't have that installed.
