fglrx module fails to build with 3.19.0-26

[Nicolas Delvaux]

This update broke fglrx here (and so my graphical environment).
I tested with the fglrx from standard repositories and with the latest driver from the amd website. Same error in both cases.

If fails during the DKMS build:

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.19.0-26-generic (x86_64)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This particular bug has already been reported and is a duplicate of bug 1479913, so it is being marked as such. Please look at the other bug report to see if there is any missing information that you can provide, or to see if there is a workaround for the bug. Additionally, any further discussion regarding the bug should occur in the other report. Feel free to continue to report any other bugs you may find.

[Francisco Fernandez (ffernandezzabala)]

This is not a duplicated bug. I made a fresh installation last week with 14.04.3 (LTS Enablement Stack On), updated all the system and installed Fglrx succesfully (with Kernel 3.19.0-25). But when updating to 3.19.0-26, Fglrx brokes and the system boots up without Flgrx. When re-installing Flgrx in 3.19.0-26, I obtained same error than Nicolas Delvaux.

There is Nothing the same between this bug and the other bug linked there.

Possible cause and solution here:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/655906/broken-fglrx-dkms-module-on-latest-ubuntu-updates

[Rich.T. (rich.t.)]

This kernel has been rolled out now, with the broken, GPL-violating module still present.

I had to roll back to 3.19.0-25 as suggested above.

Should this have really been released, if it has been known about for weeks?
