There should be no GL on RPI at all, the HW drivers only support GLES/2,
so the short answer is you can't pull in packages that require GL (in
theory you could build mesa with the software rasterizer, but you will
get unacceptable performance, and in the presence of GLES2 that makes no
sense anyway).

Incidentally, the GLES libs are not currently packaged by
meta-raspberrypi, I submitted a pull request for this yesterday.

In general, mesa-xlib provides a software GLX emulation, mesa-dri
provides glx based on the GLX extension and each machine conf needs to
choose a preferred provider for virtual/libgl to get rid of this error.
However, in the RPI case, no virtual/libgl should be getting pulled into
the images.
