Bug Description
[rational]
Purging fglrx after installing fglrx-updates fails because of a file being owned by both packages.
[test case]
1) apt-get install fglrx
2) apt-get install fglrx-updates
3) dpkg --purge fglrx
3) is currently failing with the error below
[regression potential]
Will depend on the fix.
It looks like a file from fglrx-updates is preventing the purge of fglrx…
update-rc.d: /etc/init.
dpkg: error processing fglrx (--purge):
package fglrx (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1 -"/etc/
