[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#746157: fglrx-legacy-driver: fglrx-legacy does not install due to broken dependencies

[Wolf-Dieter Groll]

Package: fglrx-legacy-driver
Severity: serious
Justification: 2

Dear Maintainer,

I tried to install fglrx-legacy on wheezy from backports using synaptic.
This failed with synaptic reporting broken packets.
At least the version of make breaks the required dependencies:
Wheezys make is version 3.81-8.2, but fglrx-legacy relies on 2.82 or beyond.

Fglrx worked perfectly over years with squeeze, but was broken after the
upgrade
to wheezy, as wheezys fglrx-driver doesn't support the installed HD3450 any
longer.
The wheezy radeon-driver frequently hangs on that machine, so I'm very
interested
to use the well-proven fglrx again.

This is an issue of a friends PC, not of this one.
It's a dual-Core Amd64, but is uses the same debian-version and settings as
this machine.
