./ati-installer.sh: 176: Syntax error: Bad substitution
Removing temporary directory: fglrx-install
This is due to /bin/sh symlinked to /bin/dash . Apparently dash has some
problems in the for loop. The solution is to symlink /bin/sh to
/bin/bash and the driver installs fine.
** Affects: dash (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided

dash has problems with some for loops, which causes ATI driver to fail
