You can use apt-file to search for the packages containing missing files:
apt-file update
apt-file search libgl.so

leads to:
<no result>

....this is one of the rare cases where something is uppercase:
apt-file search libGL.so

apt-file -l search libGL.so | xargs apt-cache policy
will show you in which repository they are.
