Something I learned the hard way was that the mesa libraries (in xlibmesa3)
have been renamed. One of my important molecular modeling packages kept
dying on me; no one had any answer to my questions about it; and I had more
or less given up on it. Then I read on another site that the new ones could
be linked to names for the old:
daddy:~# ls -l /usr/lib/libMesa*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Apr 20 09:52 /usr/lib/libMesaGL.so.3
-> /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Apr 20 09:52 /usr/lib/libMesaGLU.so.3
-> /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1
They are backward compatible. My app is up and running again! Some of your
problems are likely because of this.

It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he
doesn't really need a college education, for he can learn them from
books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not the
learning of many facts but the training of the mind to thinking--something
that cannot be learned from books. Albert Einstein
