** Description changed:
+ Trying to upgrade from the lts-vivid, lts-utopic, or lts-wily stack to
+ the lts-xenial stack as recommended by hwe-support-status creates a
+ situation the apt problem resolver can not sort out due to fglrx being
+ deprecated in 16.04. update-manager should notify you that fglrx is no
+ longer supported, and xserver-xorg-core-lts-xenial should conflict with
+ fglrx packages so the upgrade can succeed.
+
+ Test Case
+ ---------
+ 1) Install fglrx on a 14.04 system
+ 2) Install the lts-wily hwe stack
+ 3) Run sudo apt-get install $(hwe-support-status --show-replacements)
+
+ You'll encounter an error message like the following:
+
+ The following packages have unmet dependencies:
+ libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-xenial : Depends: libglapi-mesa-lts-xenial (=
11.2.0-1ubuntu2~trusty1) but it is not going to be installed
+ xserver-xorg-lts-xenial : Recommends: xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-xenial but
it is not going to be installed
+ Recommends: xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-xenial but
it is not going to be installed
+ Recommends: libgles2-mesa-lts-xenial but it is not
going to be installed
+ Recommends: libgles1-mesa-lts-xenial but it is not
going to be installed
+ Conflicts: libglapi-mesa (>= 0~)
+ Conflicts: libgles2-mesa (>= 0~)
+
+ With the version of xserver-xorg-core-lts-xenial the upgrade should be
+ calculated. Additionally, "hwe-support-status --show-all-unsupported"
+ should list the fglrx that are installed. The messaging from hwe-
+ suuport-status should also mention that the fglrx driver is deprecated.
