Bug#369732: libgl1-mesa-dev: Doesn't install - error creating symbolic link `./usr/lib/libGL.so': No such file or directory

[Srdjan]

I don't have /usr/lib/libGL.so on my system. I have
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     12 2006-06-01 09:40 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 447560 2006-05-29 14:56 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2

My understanding is that libgl1-mesa-dev creates a symlink to 
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1, and that the error is thrown when that fails.
