Bug is in labgl, which depend on xlibmesa-gl-dev | libglu-dev. If you
don't have libglu1-xorg-dev, which provides libglu-dev, apt will try to
install xlibmesa-gl-dev or libglu-dev, since libglu-dev is a virtual
package, it install the only real package it knows : xlibmesa-gl-dev
which in turn conflict with libglu1-xorg-dev... 

So the answer to your question: it works exactly as expected, but it is
not enough clever to understand that it should install libglu1-xorg-dev
in place xlibmesa-gl-dev because it is the best solution...

I have filled a bug on lablgl, and propose a solution.
