Bug Description
I was trying to uninstall all the AMD drivers by running sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev* and I got the error:
Errors were encountered while processing:
fglrx
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
It seemed to work fine by running the command again.
I'm running the latest fully updated version of Ubuntu 12.10 as of 1/22/2012.
