Wait a minute, I remember...

user@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2

That is the command I issued after inspecting my command history,
"libGL.so.1.2" must have been the package I removed from being diverted
to fglrx.

I must tell you, I did an in place upgrade from 9.04, ran all the
updates, then to 9.10, all the updates, then upgraded to 10.04, all in a
couple of days, fyi.

Someone told me to remove fglrx, so I tried couple things which didn't work, 
user@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --purge fglrx --force-depends fglrx
and
user@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get remove --purge *fglrx*
and
user@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --ignore-depends=fglrx --purge fglrx

those didn't work
I then did
user@ubuntu:~$ dpkg -l '*fglrx*'

which currently shows:

And I don't remember exactly what it showed earlier, but I know the top
line was different, not "ii", but a captial "U" and a lower case "i"
possibly, I could be wrong, but I do remember it being a capitol letter,
don't remember what it was or which letter. I think it was telling me
that "fglrx" was installed, but not correctly, since I couldn't enable
compiz, it was like it was half way installed, and it wouldn't let me
uninstall fglrx.

Here's more fyi:
