package fglrx (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1

[Andrew Harris]

I upgraded to QUANTAL because I was interested and hope to be able to improve it by sending bug reports. When I upgraded it, I couldn't get x to boot. I realized it was because I didn't run aticonfig before rebooting. So I removed it and I am going to try to reinstall it, configure it properly, and reboot.
