[Bug 1485425] [NEW] Trying to downgrade my AMD graphics driver, got: package fglrx-updates-dev (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so', which is also in package fglrx-updates 2:13.350.1-0ubuntu2

 

Public bug reported:

A recent system update made my desktop graphics stop working; the
proprietary driver is "in use" but Ubuntu is not actually using it for
any sort of hardware acceleration. All the desktop effects are disabled,
and there are ugly graphical artifacts on most of the buttons, which all
worked before.

I tried downgrading all the fglrx-updates packages using synaptic, but I
get error messages and the downgrade does not succeed.
