Do you have Synaptic installed?? Use that to hunt down and install your

a last resort. Or, upgrade to jessie to legally get the latest and
greatest. That is what I did to get the newer versions of my nVidia
drivers and VLC. As a plus, you stay within the deb package scheme of
things. Just make darn sure you do the upgrade in text terminal mode,
with X stopped totally.
I did not find the fglrx package in Synaptic. I did find some multiarch
packages which I installed. But the initial error of not finding the
architecture was persistent.
Open synaptic again and type amd in the search bar. I'm seeing over a
dozen fglrx related packages. If you have a 64bit install you really
don't want a 32bit graphical system, especially if you use DKMS to
update your driver during kernel upgrades.
