[Bug 807347] Re: package fglrx 2:8.861-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: update-alternatives: error: unable to make /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so.dpkg-tmp a symlink to /etc/alternatives/x86_64-linux-gnu_fglrx_dri: No such file or directory

 

I got the same bug on my system that I upgraded from Natty to Oneiric.
The cause turned out to be simple: the /usr/lib/dri directory did not
exist, and so update-alternatives could not create the
/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so.dpkg-tmp symlink.

Simply running "sudo mkdir /usr/lib/dri" fixed this problem for me.
