** Description changed: == DESCRIPTION == Installation of package fglrx failed with the following error: Unpacking fglrx (from .../fglrx_2%3a8.723.1-0ubuntu2_i386.deb) ... [Warning] Uninstall : inst_path_default or inst_path_override does not exist in /etc/ati. This suggests that the ATI driver is not installed, the ATI driver is only partially installed, or the current ATI driver installed is an older version than the one this script was designed for. Both files listed above are required for determining where installed files are located. To force uninstallation of the driver by guessing where the uninstallation files are located, set the FORCE_ATI_UNINSTALL environment variable and re-run /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh (this is not recommended). dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx_2%3a8.723.1-0ubuntu2_i386.deb (--unpack): subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 The preinst script removes the /etc/ati directory _before_ running the ATI's uninstallation script. Hence the later complains about it not being there anymore. TEST CASE: 1. install the drivers from ATI (download the installer e.g ati-driver-installer-10-3-x86.x86_64.run and run it ) 2. install the package from the Ubuntu repository $ sudo apt-get install fglrx The installation crashes with the aforementioned error. 3. purge fglrx 4. reinstall the drivers from ATI (step 1) 5. install fglrx from -proposed 6. Verify that it install correctly and the drivers from ATI are removed. - == WORKAROUND == $ export FORCE_ATI_UNINSTALL=/usr/share/ati $ apt-get install fglrx OR - reinstall from the ATI installer to restore the /etc/ati directory - then uninstall with ATI script - finally installthe ubuntu package.
