No, the ./ there is just an artefact from the process. And ia32-libs
does no diverting so I believe this is a side effect of something else.

I think the problem is that /usr/lib32/nvidia/diversions/ does not exist
while there still is a diversion for /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1.2 to that
place. Please run the following commands and send the output to this bug:

dpkg -S libGL.so.1.2
ls -lhd /usr/lib32
ls -lhd /usr/lib32/nvidia
ls -lhd /usr/lib32/nvidia/diversions
ls -lh /usr/lib32/nvidia/diversions

I'm reassigning the bug to nvidia on the above assumption.
