Bug Description

With the new 14.04.2 update, Xorg stack is now from Utopic, so the packages named as xserver-xorg-core-lts-utopic, xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-utopic and so on.

But fglrx (and fglrx-update) drivers from the repository depends on xorg-video-abi-11 (or xorg-video-abi-12 and so on) which is somehow does not provided by xserver-xorg-core-lts-utopic, and provided only by xserver-xorg-core.

So, the user can't install fglrx driver anymore.
