The libGL.so symlink is in the libgl1-mesa-dev package; I don’t know if we
currently install that. Note that in general, .so files with no version
number (e.g., as opposed to .so.1) are used only for development, and no
application should ever link against such a file at runtime. What apps in
particular have this problem?
