I got now OpenGLworking again with VLC! The problem seemed to be that some of the Mesa components were not locked and had been updated to the 25.xxx version. I did run though, the 'Mesa script' some times earlier... Shouldn't it have locked all the Mesa components? Or is it that Synaptic which I use for updates does not respect locking performed directly with APT? I did now pin them manually from Synaptic, too.
