Just replace this in /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.771/source/kcl_ioctl.c then run sudo dpkg --configure fglrx, or just run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade once more
Alternatively, you can use attached file
Works fine for me

[Paul B (pbarzu)]

sorry for the newb question but how exactly do you apply the patch and where to?

[Angelo Corsaro (angelo-corsaro)]

I fixed sucessfully applying the Alexander's indication on fglrx ver 8.771
