I'm attempting to upgrade my system:

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

Preparing to unpack .../fglrx-updates-dev_2%3a15.200-0ubuntu0.5_amd64.deb ...

Unpacking fglrx-updates-dev (2:15.200-0ubuntu0.5) over (2:13.350.1-0ubuntu2) ...

dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx-updates-dev_2%3a15.200-0ubuntu0.5_amd64.deb (--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.
