fglrx-updates-core 2:15.201-0ubuntu0.14.04.1: fglrx-updates-core module failed to build for xenia kernel (generic and lowlatency)

[Dave]

Not sure if apport-bug includes the following info, so I'll include the compile error just in case it doesn't.

Note: the module does build on the -wily kernels.

Hardware: Toshiba Sattellite A300-1M9, a fantastic laptop built in 2008. They don't build 'em like that anymore. But it has more features in it than today's laptops.

But anyway. Lest I turn it into a sales pitch, here's the compile error from dkms:

 /var/lib/dkms/fglrx-updates-core/15.201/build/2.6.x/firegl_public.c: In function ‘firegl_major_proc_read’:

This is the location the bug reporting takes me to. Are you sure this is a duplicate?

Same thing happened again. Why is this still marked as a duplicate? Is this indicative of another flaw in the system?
