Comment 3 for bug 1022898

I tried fglrx-updates_8.982-0ubuntu0.1_amd64.deb from precise-proposed today and the installation failed with: "Error! Application of patch fix-build-issue-on-i386-where-TS_USEDFPU-is-no-longe.patch failed". No fglrx_updates.ko was build:

Removing the patch from the archive solves the problem:
