Errors in aptitude dist-upgrade from Breezy

The saga continues...

Found out that:

jaska at jjod600n:~$ dpkg -S libGL.so.1.2
diversion by xorg-driver-fglrx from: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2
diversion by xorg-driver-fglrx to: 
/usr/share/fglrx/diversions/libGL.so.1.2
xorg-driver-fglrx: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2
diversion by xorg-driver-fglrx from: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2
diversion by xorg-driver-fglrx to: 
/usr/share/fglrx/diversions/libGL.so.1.2

Earlier I tried installing libgl1-mesa, so now I tried 
this xorg-driver-fglrx. However, aptitude install didn't 
work, it did download the package. Now I'm getting this 
kind of error:

jaska at jjod600n:~$ sudo dpkg -i

If I'm reading that right, which I probably am not, the 
install script wants to insert two versions of one library 
with the same name. Apparently this isn't possible.

I could file a bug, if someone could verify my thoughts 
about this.

This is a bit of a nastier one, since I'm afraid to 
shutdown this machine now cause lots of important packages 
are uninstallable, and I'm expecting that a boot up 
wouldn't be successful. This is a laptop, so I have to be 
really careful with it. :)
