Which of the packages listed above should NOT be installed
if I wanted to run the video card listed
with nouveau dri glx? I do not want to use the NVIDIA legacy driver.

The key problem here seems to be the missing function:

Somehow you have gotten a system with mismatching libraries. Maybe the
libraries was installed from different sources? Maybe you have built some
of the libraries yourself with different flags? Maybe you have previously
installed the binary nVidia driver and failed to restored the opensource
libraries?

The libgl1-mesa-dri was a way outdated version,
and needed upgrade. Thanks.
