Bug Description

As mentioned in duplicate bug 1417993, this bug occurs because the file '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/fglrx_drv_video.so' exists in both fglrx and xvba-va-driver so installing both packages results in a conflict:

I have installed fglrx driver from AMD. And problem is that it has same library file: fglrx_drv_video.so as xvba-video package /usr so xvba-video try to overwrite file which belongs to AMD fglrx package.

$ dpkg -L fglrx | grep fglrx_drv_video.so
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/fglrx_drv_video.so
