[Bug 807347] Re: package fglrx 2:8.861-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: update-alternatives: error: unable to make /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so.dpkg-tmp a symlink to /etc/alternatives/x86_64-linux-gnu
I got the same bug on my system that I upgraded from Natty to Oneiric. The cause turned out to be simple: the /usr/lib/dri directory did not exist, and so update-alternatives could not create the /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so.dpkg-tmp symlink. Simply running sudo mkdir /usr/lib/dri fixed this problem for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/807347 Title: package fglrx 2:8.861-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: update- alternatives: error: unable to make /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so.dpkg-tmp a symlink to /etc/alternatives/x86_64-linux-gnu_fglrx_dri: No such file or directory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/807347/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
