I went into ./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/ in Nautilus as root and just copied radeon_dri.so to another folder where I renamed it radeon_dri.so.dpkg-new. So now it doesn't complain!

I have had trouble before with my graphics drivers on this computer showing incorrectly on the screen, it's being underscanned and showing black corners in Windows 8.1, but it shows just fine under Ubuntu thankfully!

[Per-Anders Larsen (guygenie)]

And then I copied this file (radeon_dri.so.dpkg-new) back to ./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/ as root. I don't know if this bug was because I changed the default graphics driver when installing Ubuntu? This is not my only computer, so it's been a while since I've been using it.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

probably something like a full disk causing it, not a bug in the package anyway

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that there was an error on your system when trying to install a particular package. Please execute the following command, as it will clear your package cache, in a terminal:

sudo apt-get clean

Then try performing the package operation again. This will likely resolve your issue, but the failure can be caused by filesystem or memory corruption. So please also run a fsck on your filesystem(s) and a memory test. If this does not resolve your bug please set its status back to New. Thanks in advance!
