At least there should have been an error message from update-alternatives during the fglrx upgrade. Something like that it's not going to replace a real file with a symlink. In some sense this is expected behavior and I don't know how I could fix this ... except for this postinst snipped: test -e /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so \ && test ! -L /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so \ && present_debconf_error "You have messed up your system."
