I renamed the /usr/share/ati folder to /usr/share/ati_old, and after that the installed completed.
Interesting: no new /usr/share/ati folder was created by the install.
Of course, ATI Catalyst no longer functions...

I can verify Gabriel Cuka's comment - renaming that directory allowed both the repository fglrx package and the ATI-sourced package to install.

Renaming the /usr/lib/fglrx directory also fixed two installation
warnings about subdirectories not being able to be deleted.

Neither of these two steps, however, resulted in a functioning driver.

I wonder whether it's a kernel issue, since my display is garbled on
startup as well. Full 1440x900 resolution without acceleration when in
X, but the startup splash screen is garbled beyond recognition.

Ubuntu 10.04 x64, upgraded, ATI Radeon HD 5770

I have an ATI Radeon HD4870 and a resolution of 1600x900 and work to me.
