Thanks for making me aware of this, the Packages file had somehow got
out of date with the packages themselves. I have just rebuilt it and
checked a clean install and all seems good now.

This issue appears to be an incompatibility between GLUT and the
nvidia driver. Other users have reported the same issue. On non-nvidia
hardware the error is still output but things still work. Luis has
reported that updating the version of GLUT in ubuntu to the latest
debian version seems to fix things:

If your problems aren't the same then the problem may be more that I
had originally thought.

Thanks
