Not sure whether to file one or two bug reports. First error message: "The upgrade will continue but the '/var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx_2%3a8.721-0ubuntu7_i386.deb' package may not be in a working state. Please consider submitting a bug report about it."

Second error message (1/2 hr late) "The upgrade will continue but the 'fglrx' package may not be in a working state. Please consider submitting a bug report about it."

not sure what the other bug is to submit, maybe I can just wait for answers?
since only one of them being solved is enough to me.

There was a message about this package trying to overwrite a file in another package. Sorry, should have written it down.
