Got this error randomly after an upgrade (not sure if it was after adding the Ubuntu-x-swat PPA or because of a previous upgrade of Mesa from the Ubuntu repos). Looks like there's a package issue with two xorg packages (ati and radeon) having a common config file.

Using Ubuntu (MATE) 18.04.

Whoops, sorry, just noticed that it was related to Padoka's PPA, might be a few days old (I'm currently testing stuff to identify an issue with Mesa). I assume it's an issue with the PPA, bug report can likely be closed.
