[Stephen Gava <804709@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Martin, thanks for your response.  However, it is not so simple. ;)

Bug #819365 is not my bug, but I found it first because of the error
message. If you look at the final entry on  bug #81936, which is still
incorrectly marked as a duplicate of this one, you will see that the the
same error is still occuring, but for the Nvidia drivers, as well as the
Fglrx drivers that I am repoting for.

As the problem occurs for the nvidia, as well as the fglrx, drivers, it
can't be a problem with fglrx-installer...

Also,  sudo apt-get install fglrx works  without any problems on my
system, but in jockey, the driver is till marked only as "available" and
trying to "enable" it there shows the error i originally reported. Also
"dpkg --audit" shows no erros for the packages on my system. So, again,
jockey is showing an error about holding broken packages where that
doesn not seem to be true, and jockey can't be used to "enable" the
driver.

With the incorrectly marked as duplicate bug 819365, and the situation I
describe above, and scattered over several other bugs that can be
searched in the bts here, there is obvioulsy some serious problem in the
interaction between jockey and the proprietatry graphic drivers, both
nvidia and fglrx, that is still present, at least on the x64
architecture I am reporting for.

So, I can go ahead and file a report on flgrx-installer, but they'll
just say it isn't their problem, so this serious bug that has been
reported in several ways now will just fall through the cracks in your
system and be released in 11.10.

If there is some way I can help you to prevent that from happening,
please let me know, but it doubt that going through all this again on
fglrx-installer is the solution.

Cheers,
Stephen.
