I found two files in xserver-xorg-core had been diverted by nvidia-glx by using
these commands and checking the error messages:
,----
| # aptitude install xserver-xorg-core
|
| # /usr/sbin/dpkg-divert --list /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so
| diversion of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so to
| /usr/lib/nvidia/libwfb.so.xserver-xorg-core by nvidia-glx
|
| # aptitude show nvidia-glx
| Unable to find an archive "lenny" for the package "nvidia-glx"
| Package: nvidia-glx
| State: not a real package
`----

The diverted files were "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so" and
"/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libGLcore.so". I removed them with dpkg-divert
and upgraded xserver-xorg-core successfully. My X Window System is restored!

nvidia-glx non-free (NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x driver) exists in Sarge and Etch,
(NVIDIA binary Xorg driver) in Sid, but not in Lenny. I don't know how to find
out whether it used to be in Lenny. My Lenny was an upgrade from Etch - perhaps
it's remembering it from there?

I'll report this as a bug in xserver-xorg-core.

Many thanks to Florian and Sven. :-)

The diversion was added after Etch, according to
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx/changelog.Debian.gz:

,----
| nvidia-graphics-drivers (100.14.19-1) unstable; urgency=low
|
| * new upstream.
| * Xorg 7.3 compatible (closes: #420177 )
| * divert libwfb.so and libGLcore.so (closes: #442846, #441400)
| * change maintainer to packaging team.
| * change x11-common depends to 1:7.3+2
| * change provides to xserver-xorg-video-2

At that time nvidia-glx had already been removed from Lenny.
The diversion has been removed in the meantime, though:

,----
| nvidia-graphics-drivers (169.12-3) unstable; urgency=low
|
| * Make sure wfb diversion is removed. (closes: #482995)

|
| * Add initial linux-modules-nonfree-2.6 intergration, 2.6.24 only
| * create storage directories for old patches and don't include in binary
| packages.
| * Remove wfb diversion and don't install nvidia's copy.
| * Patch for 2.6.25 support

Which version did you have installed last?

Please don't. This is a bug in nvidia-glx and already fixed.

I don't know. I removed it some time ago.

I'm too keen - already done. It's already been closed, though, for this reason.

Thanks again.
