Problem removing nvidia-glx



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi.

I used to have an nvidia graphics card in my machine, I removed it 
when I found the AMD/ATI drivers, and am now using the onboard video.

Well, I installed the AMD driver before removing the nvidia drivers, 
and when trying to remove the nvidia-glx package I get the following 
error:

==========
Removing nvidia-glx ...
rm: cannot remove `/usr/lib/libGL.so': No such file or directory
dpkg-divert: rename involves overwriting `/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2' with
  different file `/usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa', not allowed
dpkg: error processing nvidia-glx (--purge):
 subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 nvidia-glx
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
==========

This is preventing every other function, stopping updating and such.

I have the idea that I could _delete_ the file "/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2" 
and run the remove, but I don't know what problems that might cause.

Suggestions, before I do something I am going to regret?
