Unable to install fglrx or fglrx-updates in software-properties

[Bruce Pieterse]

I am unable to select the fglrx or fglrx-updates package under additional drivers. The output from software-properties-gtk --debug is:

Warning: install transaction not completed successfully: Transaction failed: Package dependencies cannot be resolved
 The following packages have unmet dependencies:

fglrx: Depends: libqtcore4 (>= 4:4.8.4) but 4:4.8.6+git49-gbc62005+dfsg-1ubuntu1 is to be installed
       Depends: xorg-video-abi-18 but it is a virtual package

I have exactly the same problem. liqtcore4 is installed and xorg-video-abit-18

I have exactly the same problem. liqtcore4 is installed and xorg-video-abit-18 should be also since it is provided by xserver-xorg-core, which is installed. But I do not know how to check a virtual package dependency.

I'm not sure it is a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1382563 though, since here we are using the packages installer (e.g. "/usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk --open-tab=4).
