The original problem was actually fixed automatically when I changed the
ownership of all of my home directory files to myself--some of them were
root. This caused me to not be able to log in, and Jorg Frings-Furst
replied and after some diagnostics had me change the ownership, which
fixed not only the login problem, but also the graphics/driver problem,
so there was no need to update the radeon driver (which resulted in the
above error). I'm not sure if my system is now using the latest driver,
so the above bug may still exist, but the graphics work.
It would be very helpful if someone would post something because the
ownership/permissions problem can cause SO MANY different problems that
are difficult to diagnose. In my case it happened when transferring
files from a backup external drive. I read many reports of the same
graphics problem (no unity, no panel) and the same login problem (login
bumped back to login screen) and the same ecryptfs problem (inability to
recover after following all instructions) I had.
One post told the person "check your permissions" but although I knew
how, it wasn't clear which files to check or what the permissions were
supposed to be. Suffering for years and lost data could have been easily
fixed, but I had no idea that permissions could cause these problems.
Jorg F-F marked my bugs as non-bugs, which is correct, but how can
someone else now find out the information? There were many posts with
the same problems witout fixes.
Thank you all for all your help to all of us out here in the field!

Title:
fglrx (not installed): fglrx kernel module failed to build
Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
In following instructions to update driver for Radeon 3000 on this site
http://www.noobslab.com/2013/04/install-ati-amd-catalyst-drivers-in.html
(because nothing else has worked). The last command sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb
resulted in the above error message.
The ubuntu 13.10 saucy installation disk does not work--it goes to initramfs,
and one time it asked for the driver cd, which is why I'm trying to install the
driver.
Presently ubuntu 12.10 is installed.
