Comment 14 for bug 552782

Please keep in mind that Ubuntu is completely free of charge, and a lot of the work is done by volenteers on their spare time. Downloading a alpha/beta release and reporting bugs is one way a normal user can contribute. If you where looking for a stable system you should have waited for the final release. The fix for this particular bug should be available in the repositories so a simple update/upgrade should do it.

Emne: [Bug 552782] Re: package fglrx (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: dpkg-divert: mismatch on package

I'm going to remove this (beta don't work) until your stable version
comes out at the end of the month.Since you can't send me a downloadable
fix that doesn't require writing in manually the solution I have no
interest in this beta version. I have wasted two days waiting for this
pile to install and at the end of it all you give me a notice of not
installed upgrade aborted then installed with problems all at the same
time make up your damn minds. It's back to 9.1 or windows if this
doesn't work out. I thought you guys had the right idea giving an
alternative to the insanely bloated windows that have built in back
doors for snooping but I was wrong I guess..........
