The x.org packages landed in Debian proper today, so you don't need to
use the p.d.o link any longer.
The libglu issue is still there, though. The issue is the GCC 4 C++ ABI
transition. C++ packages (like KDE and libGLU) compiled with GCC 3.4
and 4.0 cannot exist in the same process, because the ABI changed.
Debian/unstable, where x.org is available, uses the new ABI, not the
old, so anything depending on the old GLU (3.4 ABI) cannot work with the
new GLU (4.0 ABI) yet.
The solution is to wait until the applications (KDE, for example) are
all finished with the ABI transition, at which point everything can
update nicely.
As a side note, though, my system is running OK with the 3.4 ABI GLU
library, but the Debian/unstable x.org packages.
Maybe you should hold back the GLU package until the update is done, but
pull in the x.org server and other libraries?
