I had this problem with Debian. I got spoiled by the Suse install. Debian is great as well. 

BTW GLcore and dri are both removed on my system 

Try running 

ldd `which glxgears' | grep libGL
 
You may have a problem with the libGL.so and LibGL.so.1. Check /usr/lib/tls. If for some reason they stay linked try renaming. 
The files that should be used are the libGL.so.(your version#) and libGL.so.1.(your version#).  They will be in the same directory.
