It cannot find a resolution (with hints it gets to a point where it
present removing half of the GUI packages as a solution) - if you
remember we had the same problem a month ago or so, and it looked like
it was due to having both amd64 and i386 installed - as with only one
arch (in a chroot) it couldn't be reproduced:

The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

      Remove the following packages:                                                        
1)      libegl1-glvnd-nvidia [384.111-1~bpo9+1 (now, stretch-backports)]                    
2)      libegl1-glvnd-nvidia:i386 [384.111-1~bpo9+1 (now, stretch-backports)]               
3)      libgl1-glvnd-nvidia-glx [384.111-1~bpo9+1 (now, stretch-backports)]                 
4)      libgl1-glvnd-nvidia-glx:i386 [384.111-1~bpo9+1 (now, stretch-backports)]            
5)      libgl1-nvidia-glvnd-glx [384.111-1~bpo9+1 (now, stretch-backports)]                 
6)      libgl1-nvidia-glvnd-glx:i386 [384.111-1~bpo9+1 (now, stretch-backports)]            
7)      libglx-nvidia0 [384.111-1~bpo9+1 (now, stretch-backports)]                          
8)      libglx-nvidia0:i386 [384.111-1~bpo9+1 (now, stretch-backports)]                     
9)      libglx0-glvnd-nvidia [384.111-1~bpo9+1 (now, stretch-backports)]                    
10)     libglx0-glvnd-nvidia:i386 [384.111-1~bpo9+1 (now, stretch-backports)]               
11)     nvidia-driver-libs [384.111-1~bpo9+1 (now, stretch-backports)]                      
12)     nvidia-driver-libs:i386 [384.111-1~bpo9+1 (now, stretch-backports)]                 
13)     nvidia-driver-libs-i386:i386 [384.111-1~bpo9+1 (now, stretch-backports)]            
14)     nvidia-egl-icd [384.111-1~bpo9+1 (now, stretch-backports)]                          
15)     nvidia-egl-icd:i386 [384.111-1~bpo9+1 (now, stretch-backports)]                     
16)     nvidia-vulkan-common [384.111-1~bpo9+1 (now, stretch-backports)]

18)     nvidia-vulkan-icd:i386 [384.111-1~bpo9+1 (now, stretch-backports)]                  

      Leave the following dependencies unresolved:                                          
19)     nvidia-driver-libs-nonglvnd recommends libglx-nvidia0 (= 384.111-1~bpo9+1)          
20)     nvidia-driver-libs-nonglvnd:i386 recommends libglx-nvidia0:i386 (= 384.111-1~bpo9+1)



Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]


Using aptitude to switch back and forth seems to work.
