[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#490370: nvidia-glx-legacy-71xx: purge fails

[A Mennucc1]

Package: nvidia-glx-legacy-71xx
Severity: normal

hi

I removed nvidia-glx-legacy-71xx to install nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx

then I also decided to purge it away, since it
still leaves around /etc/init.d/nvidia-glx-legacy-71xx
which installs TLS links at boot
(and this is useless, it is already done by ...96xx )

but purging fails, it says

dpkg-divert: mismatch on package
  when removing `diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 to /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.xlibmesa by nvidia-glx-legacy-71xx'
  found `diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 to /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.xlibmesa by nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx'

and similarly a lot of commands following do fail

a possible workaround would be to remove all diversions on 
package removal, and not on --purge

a.
