package libgl1-mesa-dri 8.0.4-0ubuntu0.2 failed to install/upgrade

[Dan Dube]

I was trying to (re)install Steam, and I got this error.
One weird thing that happened before is that Steam (and all it's files) wiped themselves out of my system for no reason...

Likely fixed years ago. Are you still able to reproduce this issue?

Nothing that will be done in mesa for an issue with fglrx anyway these days.
