Bug Description
Testing Hardy, I have the 8.42.3 fglrx driver as supplied by Restricted Manager. I've been noticing that a variety of programs fail to run with console messages about Bad GL Context, so I thought I would remove the fglrx driver and see if the system worked well with Mesa drivers.
The bug I'm reporting is that the removal of xorg-driver-fglrx by Restricted Manager failed, generating an error message and an error report. This in turn failed to complete, but left me in Launchpad with a partial report. I'm trying to give some context.
To return to the original Bad GL Context bug, I get it whenever i try to run anything that runs diagnostics on the video driver, like fglrxinfo or glxinfo, or glxgears. It also appears when I try to run Wine, which is therefore unusable.

Confirming that removing the Restricted driver package did correct the Bad GL Context failures. glxinfo, glxgears and Wine all run correctly now.
Next step will be to ask RDriverManager to put it back, and see if the original error returns.
