package fglrx 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 2

[Glenn F Crawford]

Following recent Ubuntu upgrade, boot routine reported that display graphics was not functional. The Hardware Device object fglrx was still shown as being available, but would not install. I attempted to reinstall all fglrx objects via Synaptic Package Manager. The results is contained in the attachment(s).
