package fglrx 2:8.723-0ubuntu1 [modified: usr/src/fglrx-8.723/dkms.conf] failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1: inst_path_default or inst_path_override does not exist in /etc/ati

[Harish]

You are using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
                - the Lucid Lynx - released in April 2010 and supported until April 2013.

The graphic driver failed to install during an automated package update with the following error msg:

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

Preparing to replace fglrx 2:8.723-0ubuntu1 (using .../fglrx_2%3a8.723.1-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb) ...
Removing all DKMS Modules
Done.

[Warning] Uninstall : inst_path_default or inst_path_override
 does not exist in /etc/ati. This suggests that the ATI driver
 is not installed, the ATI driver is only partially installed,
 or the current ATI driver installed is an older version than the
 one this script was designed for. Both files listed above are
 required for determining where installed files are located.
 To force uninstallation of the driver by guessing where the
 uninstallation files are located, set the FORCE_ATI_UNINSTALL
 environment variable and re-run /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh (this is not recommended).
