@Alberto, assigning to you; it looks like a pretty straightforward
packaging bug.  Just need to make sure /usr/lib/dri exists.

** Summary changed:

- 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
+ package fglrx 2:8.861-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade due to missing /usr/lib/dri

** Description changed:

+ [Problem]
+ The /usr/lib/dri directory was not present, so fglrx failed to install.  Simply running "sudo mkdir /usr/lib/dri" fixed this problem for me.  Installing gstreamer apparently also causes the directory to be created so installing gstreamer first will allow avoiding the problem.
+ 
+ 
+ [Original Report]
  Tried to install fglrx earlier, but this did not succeed. Rebooted and installed mesa-utils, but this did not succeed either. Got this log in the terminal:
  The program 'glxinfo' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
  sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
  p-i@pi-MS-7125-oneiric-alpha2:~$ sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
