Installation of the proprietary 304xx nvidia driver (in Stretch as no longer included since Buster) changes but does not fix the issue.

Good day David, (well, day with a lot of noise, but that is
relatively uncommon actually),

Last time I had some garbling with libgl links, it was due to a
reinstallation, or update, of "xorg-xserver", which erased an
NVidia specific version of the libgl.so with its own.  Could you
send the output of the following commands:

	$ glxinfo | head
	$ nvidida-smi
	$ lspci | grep VGA

Well, assuming the problem does come from garbled OpenGL libs,
purging then reinstalling the NVidia driver might help, but I am
referring for myself to a situation where the .run file from
NVidia was in use (specific driver qualification in professional
context); not sure how things would work with Debian packaging.

Kind Regards,  :)
