[iceman75]

Laptop HP 645 G1 with AMD A10 processor running Ubuntu 14.04.1 with AMD's fglrx installed (downloaded from AMD's webpage and manually installed).

Today Ubuntu reported a system error involving fglrx. Apparently the fglrx driver was updated on the repositories and now the laptop tries to upgrade the manually installed fglrx with the new version.
