Your prelink suggestion was helpful. It reported lots of messages such as:

prelink: /usr/bin/glxinfo: Could not parse `/usr/bin/glxinfo:
/usr/lib/nvidia/libGLcore.so.1: no version information available (required
by /usr/lib/tls/libGL.so.1)'

I ended finding many old nvidia-related files in /usr/lib/tls:
libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6629 libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.7167
libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.7676. I moved them away and everything started to work.
Looks like nvidia does not clean after itself during upgrades.

Thanks a lot for your help!
