Title:
  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

Status in fglrx-installer-updates package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
