This package does not exist, so that's a small wonder.

Upgrade to wheezy, or install the libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental package
from squeeze-backports. Note that in the latter case you also have to
upgrade the whole X stack as well as the kernel to the squeeze-backports
versions.
Probably you won't have too much fun anyway with 3D on such an old
machine, and the nouveau_vieux driver is currently not supported¹ by
the Nouveau developers.
