all right recently i just tried to update the ATI driver by following this guide http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide before hardy following this site for the guides never produced problems, now i followed the guide but it came up with an error about libGL, and I was never able to fix the problem so i decided to try to just undo it but whenever i try to do anything about installing or removing i get this error, "E: xorg-driver-fglrx: subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2" I tried sudo apt-get install -f and i got this error

if i choose no then nothing happened and i still had the error.
I feel kinda stupid because the driver before hand worked with a few errors and i thought to just try the install to see if it fixed the problem. Thanks for your help
btw i have 64-bit ubuntu, but i didn't think that this belonged in the 64-bit forum because it didn't seem to have any error regrading 64-bit
