hi kai and alberto,

alberto, am i right in thinking it sounds like there is a new fix and  i
should try and the software updater method matthew described to see if
it will sort itself. when i tried it last it just crashed.

kai, and if that doesn't work then you're saying that it's safe to just
purge the fglrx. that won't break it worse? (can it get worse lol) is it
sudo  apt-get purge fglrx?  then sudo apt-get fglrx installer? is there
a dash between fglrx-installer? i know such things can be important.

thanks guys. indeed i do think my issue is a bit different from what
little my geekling understanding allows me, but also looks like some of
the ways of fixing it might be similar.  i did post a separate bug when
i realized that in case that allowed the unbuntu gods to help sort it.

haven't been back in ubuntu in a few days. been updating/upgrading my
windows partition so i have a functional operating system, even if it's
not my beloved ubuntu.  will wait to try out the fix till later. am
geekling tech brained out right now after windows 10 upgrade. i think it
might have eaten a teenie tiny bit of my soul =P

Bug description:
  SRU Request:

  [Impact]

  Upgrading from the upstream fglrx driver packages to the packages in
  the Ubuntu repository fails because the /etc/ati directory is a real
  directory instead of being a link (which was common in the Ubuntu
  packages).

  [Test Case]
  1. Install the fglrx driver (14.502) in Ubuntu 14.04 generating deb packages from the AMD installer 
  2. Upgrade the package to the current ubuntu release.
  3. Check the apt-get output 

  Expected results: the fglrx module should be updated correctly.

  Actual results:
  The update fails as described below.

  [Regression Potential]
  Low. The change only affects a migration from a specific release.

  
  ______________________________________
  Note that the fglrx 14.502 package name is fglrx_14.502-0ubuntu1_amd64_UB_14.01.deb, which is from AMD's site, not from Ubuntu repository.
