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

[Viktoria S.]

Hi!

I was following the instructions given to me here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/949641
to remove the fglrx-updates because it was in residual config state, because of an earlier ATI driver intallation.
I tried to remove it with synaptic and this error occured.
And the fglrx-updates package still in residual config state.
If you need some logs or any other information please let me know.

These two commands will fix it:

sudo /usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f atieventsd remove
sudo apt-get purge fglrx-updates
