Those binaries are gone and apt should prompt to autoremove them.
The same has already been reported, so merging the bugs.

Bug#900378: glx-alternative-nvidia: Fails to enable proprietary accelerated OpenGL and does not report the problem

2018-05-29 Thread Tony Houghton
Package: glx-alternative-nvidia
Version: 0.8.3
Severity: normal

Since a dist-upgrade I noticed a poor framerate and high CPU usage in
Minecraft. glxinfo seems to indicate it's using software rendering:

name of display: :1
display: :1  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.4
...
Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer):
Vendor: VMware, Inc. (0x)
Device: llvmpipe (LLVM 6.0, 128 bits) (0x)
Version: 18.0.4
Accelerated: no
...

I think the source of the problem is that the available version of most
of the binary packages of nvidia-graphics-drivers is 390.59-1 but for
libgl1-glvnd-nvidia-glx it's 390.48-3 (can there really be a lag of a
whole day for packages from the same source package to make it into the
archive?) so it can't be installed. But seeing as
glx-alternative-nvidia's main job is to activate the proprietary driver
it should report the problem if it's unable to do that and/or it should
depend on all the packages it needs.
