Aside from the fact that bugs such as this shouldn't be in a "Long Term
Support" release, the steps in comment #77 should be given WAY more
visibility, as a noob can't understand what "Fix Released" means if he
cannot just do 'sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates'. Also, when
installing from the proposed repos, you should install fglrx-amdcccle-
updates manually in the same way.

Bug description:
  
  SRU Request:

  [Impact]
  fglrx cannot be installed correctly together with the new lts stacks.

  [Test case]
  Installing the xserver from lts-utopic will prevent the current fglrx from being installed. The new fglrx will install correctly

  [Regression potential]
  Low. This fglrx release is already in use in 15.04 without any major issues.
