package fglrx (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1

[Parth Lakhani]

Using Unity in Precise Beta1, the launcher does not reveal upon cursor moving to the left edge. Bugfinder suggested fglrx as the issue - not sure about that, but I'll try. Can use the launcher via the <Super> button, and all unity 3D features seem to be fine, except the reveal.
