Public bug reported:

I tried to remove fglrx and rebuild xserver-xorg since fglrx results in
boot loop with kernel 26 on 15.04.  I got into root prompt on recovery
mode and  ran apt-get remove --purge fglxr* and xserver-xorg.  I then
ran apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core, libgl1-mesa-glx:i386
and :amd64, libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 and :amd64 and xserver-xorg. I then ran
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and reboot

When 15.04 started up, I got this error message about fglrx-core not
installed which I expected since I removed it, however the mesa graphics
were not installed.
