That's curious, there shouldn't exist any packages that depend on the
fglrx driver. Do you remember which packages wanted to be removed?

Well, that's a story. I had installed the ATI drivers from their site which at least worked a little better than the "ATI" debian driver (which couldn't find my 256Mb of vram). At some point I had installed xlibmesa-gl and since I aptitude update - aptitude upgrade regularly. Eventually, xlibmesa-gl came out in a newer version and all hell broke loss. It got halfway in and then baulked at rewriting a file which was installed by fglrx (not yours, the ATI one) libGL.so.1.2. At that point I was painted into a corner and everything tried wound up with atitude wanting to do major butchering. I may have done something but I don't recall what exactly but I got to the point where your fglrx-drivers only complained about the executables, so I said, what the hell, and forced-overwrite the executables. Sorry if this sounds confused. I should have written down exactly what I did but didn't think of it at the time. Anyway this story has a happy ending.
Cheers,
Jonathan
