** Description changed:

  I got this error when trying to remove the ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX
  graphics driver. Despite the error the driver appears to be "not
  activated" after removal.
+ 
+ == Workaround ==
+ 
+ Open a terminal and run the following commands:
+ $ sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2
+ 
+ You can then remove the driver with:
+ $ sudo apt-get --purge remove fglrx-kernel-source fglrx-modaliases xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-amdcccle libamdxvba1
+
