[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#534996: Upgrade fails: Could not read file /etc/default/fglrx-atieventsd

[Ivo Wever]

Package: fglrx-atieventsd
Version: 1:9-6-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Installation/upgrade of fglrx-atieventsd fails, because of (aptitude output):

Setting up fglrx-atieventsd (1:9-6-1) ...                                                                                           
Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/fglrx-driver ...                                                                  
Could not read file /etc/default/fglrx-atieventsd

dpkg: error processing fglrx-atieventsd (--configure):                                                                              
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

/etc/init.d/fglrx-driver attempts to call /etc/default/fglrx-atieventsd and fails in its absense.
Inspecting the packages fglrx-driver and fglrx-atieventsd shows that this file is 
indeed not present in either package. I suspect /etc/default/fglrx-driver was
renamed to /etc/default/fglrx-atieventsd?
