package install problem

[PleegWat]

Hi, I'm trying to install the libgl1-mesa-dev package, which I need to 
compile wine from source. This used to work fine on 8.04, but in 8.10 
I'm getting the following errors:

I've tried removing and reinstalling several times, as well as using the 
main repository rather than the dutch mirror, but that doesn't seem to 
work. Interestingly, the same package didn't cause any problems on a 
similar system at work.
