apt-get update/upgrade

[Michael Havens]

I'm attempting to upgrade my system:

 $ sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade

The following packages have been kept back:
  fglrx-updates linux-kernel-generic
The following packages will be upgraded:

1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.

dpkg: error processing archive

(--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so', which is also in package
fglrx-updates 2:13.350.1-0ubuntu2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx-updates-dev_2%3a15.200-0ubuntu0.5_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I tried websearching the error and it pulled up a page that said to:

 $ sudo dpkg --purge --force-all fglrx-amdcccle xvba-va-driver

but that isn't quite right. So I tried to focus the search; I put quotes
around groups of phrases:

"Preparing to unpack"
"Unpacking fglrx-updates-dev"
"dpkg: error processing archive" "(--unpack):"
 "trying to overwrite" "which is also in package fglrx"
"Errors were encountered while processing:"

Do I need to do anything? If sp please tell me what to do.
