Public bug reported:
fglrx-updates, fglrx, (and the nvidia proprietary drivers I believe) do
not depend on linux-kernel-headers which is a dependency for them to be
installed. If you try to install any of these drivers without having
first installed the linux-headers, the installer will get a big fat
error message. For the past 6-7 kernel updates I have had to manually
install the kernel-headers to make sure that the graphics driver package
will properly install.
I do not know if this is an oversight or planned, but having installers
failing due to dependency issues is not good for end-users.
