After my update, I had my computer freezing after starting lightdm. Going through recovery, I purged lightdm and xorg, so I could at least get to work with a tty terminal.

After having followed the instructions on adding wily-proposed to my repository list (using only command line arguments and nano for editing), I attempted to install using the command:
sudo apt-get install fglrx/wily-proposed fglrx-updates/wily-proposed fglrx-updates-core/wily-proposed fglrx-amdcccle-updates/wily-proposed

However, installation could not be completed, as it complained about conflicts with fglrx-driver and xorg-driver-binary. Attempting to remove these packages, I am told that 'Virtual packages like xxx can't be removed'. Can anyone help me on where I've gone wrong?
