Hello,

Sorry to bother you again, but there are two serious bugs in Catalyst 
15.9-1~bpo8+1 and related packages.

The first bug is related to OpenCL (amd-opencl-icd) and has been 
corrected in 15.9-2 [#793488].

The second bug is related to libgl1-fglrx-glx-i386. Steam needs this 
package, however you guys haven't backported the correct version to 
Jessie. Current libgl1-fglrx-glx-i386 in Jessie Backports is version 
15.7-3, while general backported fglrx packages are 15.9 and 
jessie-release pacakges are version 14.12. There are 3 different 
versions of this package in Jessie.

Trying to install libgl1-fglrx-glx-i386 (15.7) causes the following 
error:

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

but it is not going to be installed

I'm unable to use Catalyst 14.12 as a few of my Steam games don't run 
well on it (like X-Plane 10 and Counter-Strike Global Offensive).
Also, OpenCL is a lot slower for me if I use amd-opencl-icd 14.12.

Is there anything I can do to speed up the backporting process? I can 
test fglrx 15.9-2 at any time if you want.

Again, sorry to bother you Maintainers, it's just that I need this 
package and jessie-backports is a little messy ATM :)

Regards,
Amarildo
