glx-alternative-nvidia being a virtual package, strikes me as odd.
It just whirrs a bit and sets alternatives for GLX libs to nvidia
directories rather than Mesa, and then goes away. It's like oatmeal in

p/s If the OP has one of the newest nVidia cards, there are some laptop
issues requiring more than plain nvidia drivers. I forget the name of
the special install system. But, the Op can just go to the nvidia site
for more info on his card's driver requirements
Or, he could rip out ALL nvidia installed packages, (apt-get purge
nvidia*) to create a clean slate, and re-install. I've had to resort to
that more than once over the years. Be sure to keep a copy of
/etc/X11/xorg.conf somewhere safe, like the /home/$USERNAME directory,
in case you need it again.
