You can try
dpkg --force-overwrite-diverted --purge nvidia-glx
but I am almost sure that it will not help in this situation.
(Actually, I think that even --force-all will not make a difference.)
What output do you get for
dpkg-divert --list nvidia*

Probably, but there might be some other problems still waiting for you,
for example related to the transition to udev.
