Public bug reported:

Actually I'm not sure if this is a linker related issue or if it relates
to the nvidia-current package.

After upgrading to the lucid release candidate, ld wants to link with
the libGL.so.1 from /usr/lib, rather than with the one from /usr/lib
/nvidia-current, although in /etc/ld.so.conf, one can find the entry:
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf and nvidia-current is installed
properly. Even when editing ld.so.conf so that their are lines
surrounding the above mentioned line telling the linker to search for
shared objects in /usr/lib/nvidia-current, the behavior wouldn't be as
expected.

Only when setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/lib/nvidia-current , ld knows
where to find libGL.so.1(i.e. in /usr/lib/nvidia-current).

Searching the internet for similar topics, I found this post and maybe
it relates to my problem: http://www.mail-archive.com/mesa3d-
dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg11607.html

As I know, that this issue is probably tough to reproduce, I attached
the output of the following commands / content of the following files:

lsb_release -rd
lsconfig -p
lspci
/etc/ld.so.conf
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/GL.conf -> /etc/alternatives/gl_conf
