Package: fglrx-driver
Version: 8.23.7-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 6.1
When upgrading from 8.21.7-1, fglrx-driver does not handle diversion
properly. The maintainer scripts fail (so the serious severity).
The error I got is (in french):
Dépaquetage de la mise à jour de fglrx-driver ...
dpkg : erreur de traitement de
/var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx-driver_8.23.7-1_i386.deb (--unpack) :
tentative de remplacement de « /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 », qui appartient
aussi au paquet xlibmesa-gl
I do not recall the exact message in an english (or C) locale, but it
should be something similar to the title of this bug.
For users experimenting this bug, a workaround is to remove the package
and reinstall it after :
dpkg --purge --force-depends fglrx-driver
apt-get install fglrx-driver
It worked for me.
Best regards,
Vincent

Thare has never been an official Debian packaging of version 8.21.7; you
were using the ATI installer packages and they don't play nicely with
official Debian packages.
