Comment 10 for bug 871344

I'm not sure if this is because of my chroot environment or not, but while
attempting to reinstall fglrx with the command you suggested, I get several
hundred lines of this:

FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.35-30-generic/modules.dep: No such
file or directory

Followed immediately by

Loading new fglrx-8.881 DKMS files...
It is likely that 2.6.35-30-generic belongs to a chroot's host
Building only for 3.0.0-12-generic
Building for architecture x86_64
Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the
kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed.

Processing triggers for libc-bin ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place

Because of the Kernel complaints, I decided to do a bit more digging.
Clearly CHRoot is causing the kernel version issue listed above.
root@Hercules:/# uname -r
2.6.35-30-generic
root@Hercules:/# ls /boot
abi-3.0.0-11-generic config-3.0.0-12-generic
initrd.img-3.0.0-11-generic memtest86+.bin
System.map-3.0.0-12-generic vmlinuz-3.0.0-11-generic
abi-3.0.0-12-generic grub
initrd.img-3.0.0-12-generic memtest86+_multiboot.bin
vmcoreinfo-3.0.0-11-generic vmlinuz-3.0.0-12-generic
config-3.0.0-11-generic initrd.img-2.6.35-30-generic
lost+found System.map-3.0.0-11-generic
vmcoreinfo-3.0.0-12-generic

However, it looks like it's still attempting to build for the 3.0 kernel,
but fglrx appears to be missing the dependency for linux-source-3.0.0, so
I'll attempt to install the sources for 3.0 and report back.
