** Description changed: - E: /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx_2%3a8.723.1-0ubuntu2_i386.deb: - subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 + == 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 + + == HOW TO REPRODUCE == + - install the drivers from ATI (download the installer e.g ati-driver-installer-10-3-x86.x86_64.run and run it ) + - install the package from the Ubuntu repository + $ sudo apt-get install fglrx + + => failure + + The preinst script removes the /etc/ati directory _before_ running the + ATI's uninstallation script.
