@Marius: I think you're using some other package, not the one in -proposed. The fact that in your case "/var/lib/dkms/fglrx/10-9/" contains "10-9" instead of "8.723.1" proves my theory.
The output of this command will show you what version you have installed: apt-cache policy fglrx The new package (8.723.1-0ubuntu5) includes the attached patch that does what's required to work around the problem (which is slightly more complex than what you suggested). ** Patch added: "compat_alloc_cve-2010-3081.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/642518/+attachment/1619767/+files/compat_alloc_cve-2010-3081.patch -- [MASTER] package fglrx 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: Kernel fix for CVE-2010-3081 breaks fglrx https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/642518 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
