Package fglrx is not installed, so not removed
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  fglrx-kernel-source: Depends: fglrx but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

$ dpkg-divert --remove /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so
$ dpkg-divert --remove /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so

those are ok
