Got it to work, finally. And I definitely agree about the need for cleanup. In my case, the source of problem was /etc/ati/ati-fglrx.sh, called from /etc/profile, not belonging to any of the currently installed packages, and neither to the recent version of ATI drivers (ati-driver-installer-8-5-x86.x86_64.run) I was trying to install. Google search shows this issue is nothing new, though.
