It looks to me like the problem was with xorg-driver-fglrx, which still had some diversions registered for /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1.2 and /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 despite it no longer being a real package. So when fglrx tried to restore the libGL.so stuff it failed causing the entire uninstall to fail.
I resolved the problem by forcing a reinstall of fglrx then manually running: sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1.2 sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 Then I was able to uninstall fglrx successfully. VDPAU still isn't working even with the newer fglrx driver, but that's a different problem I believe. -- package fglrx 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626027 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
