Status in fglrx-installer package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in fglrx-installer-updates package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in fglrx-installer source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Status in fglrx-installer-updates source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Bug description: SRU Request: [Impact] Upgrading from the upstream fglrx driver packages to the packages in the Ubuntu repository fails because the /etc/ati directory is a real directory instead of being a link (which was common in the Ubuntu packages). [Test Case] 1. Install the fglrx driver (14.502) in Ubuntu 14.04 generating deb packages from the AMD installer 2. Upgrade the package to the current ubuntu release. 3. Check the apt-get output Expected results: the fglrx module should be updated correctly. Actual results: The update fails as described below. [Regression Potential] Low. The change only affects a migration from a specific release. ______________________________________ Note that the fglrx 14.502 package name is fglrx_14.502-0ubuntu1_amd64_UB_14.01.deb, which is from AMD's site, not from Ubuntu repository.
