Comment 4 for bug 903036

On my freshly-updated Kubuntu system, I can now report a difference between a plain fglrx install and an fglrx-updates install. A plain install completes properly, while an install of "-updates" still fails. The downloaded packages can still be installed by hand, and work properly, so it is only jockey that is failing.

Output from jockey-kde for an fglrx-updates installation attempt:
