If you are using Intel, you need to reconfigure this to mesa-diverted.

If you don't use them, purging the fglrx/nvidia and glx-alternative-*
packages might also be a good idea.

Very strange, even an a system with an AMD GPU, fglrx is not installed
by default. It is only available in non-free and nothing in main
depends on non-free.

I suppose something else in non-free you have installed had
dependencies on fglrx, but that seems odd too. I also noticed that you
have nvidia-installer-cleanup, which shouldn't be necessary if you
didn't use nvidia hardware...
