fglrx broken after update to 2:8.721-0ubuntu7

Add same experience, logged it and solution here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/494699

This is a bit weird as the package contains those files (as is supposed to install them):

:~$ dpkg -L fglrx | grep /etc/ati
/etc/ati
/etc/ati/signature
/etc/ati/atiogl.xml
/etc/ati/logo.xbm.example
/etc/ati/logo_mask.xbm.example
/etc/ati/control
/etc/ati/amdpcsdb.default
/etc/ati/authatieventsd.sh

Please follow these steps:

1) type the following command:
sudo apt-get --purge remove fglrx

and attach the output of the following command:
ls -l /etc/ati

2) type the following command:
sudo apt-get install fglrx

and attach the output of the following command:
ls -l /etc/ati

After reinstalling via apt-get everything is ok. My problem occured only once, just after automatic upgrade.
I attach the ls outputs of /etc/ati you asked for.

Correct, it happened with upgrade of fglrx on the 01/04. Complete remove via synaptic, reboot + reinstall fixed it.

Hesitant to mess with it now that all is fine, especially during the week and this is my work and primary machine. Do the outputs provided by bodwick provide you with enough? If not I'll do this on the weekend and post the results.

Can you also attach the following files, please?
/var/log/dpkg.log
/var/log/apt/term.log

When there will be a final and fully working FIX for this bug?!

This bug is said to be a duplicate of bug #494699 which is supposed to be fixed, but my (this) bug still persists.
I've upgraded fglrx to 2:8.721-0ubuntu10 just today and had the same problem once again.

@bodwick, have you run the updates that came in today for fglrx? I'm hesitant to apply them till this evening in-case the same issue occurs... busy working. Will try them this evening.

@Brendan_P Yes I have, today's updates (to fglrx 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu1) work fine, no problems for me.

Quick note to mention that the process went smoothly for me too this time. So all seems 100% now. Thanks Alberto and rest of the Team.

I can not update fglrx to 2:8.723.1. I've got the following error: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx_2%3a8.723.1-0ubuntu3_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1.
