Oh, that makes sense, there have been some other apt issues like that, opera is a particularly bad offender, you have to manually remove some file or other before apt can proceed since it won't remove a directory if something it doesn't know about is in it.
It's tempting to add your fix to the script but I can't do it if I can't test it myself, or if someone else can't test it on a few installs.
Glad you figured it out, I'll bookmark the thread in case the issue comes up again.
This sounds like the paths were changed at some point and either apt or the install-fglrx-debian.sh script weren't updated to take that into account.
I wish I had some ati stuff to test on but I don't currently, I don't even have a box with agp slots anymore.
To be clear: there were two issues? First the presence of those files/directories you removed kept apt from working? And two, apt not working kept install-fglrx-debian.sh from working?
Did the dist-upgrade go through during this process, it's not clear to me. |

Yes to both.
It gave the dpkg divert error...apparantly it wanted to overwrite one file in /usr/lib to a file in /usr/lib/fglrx...which made no sense to me....the error msg stated that it wasnt allowed yet I was root and all permissions were fine.
I did come across an error that stated I needed to fix manually as well.
Yes dist-upgrade proceeded fine after deleteing the dir and file through the process.
I got some erors and an error in the build process that it said to check the modass buildlogs but when I left the blue screen areas and went back to console I lost all access to those error msg's.I will check the logs manually to see what what,it may be the answer to my direct rendering issue.
I have to get direct rendering to work now and may need to go into the kernel and see what raid/mdadm stuff is built in.So far everything is working with the newest kernel,xorg,drivers...looking good.
Have to go food shopping now.  |
