That is the command I issued after inspecting my command history, "libGL.so.1.2" must have been the package I removed from being diverted to fglrx.
I must tell you, I did an in place upgrade from 9.04, ran all the updates, then to 9.10, all the updates, then upgraded to 10.04, all in a couple of days, fyi.
Someone told me to remove fglrx, so I tried couple things which didn't work,
user@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --purge fglrx --force-depends fglrx
and
user@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get remove --purge *fglrx*
and
user@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --ignore-depends=fglrx --purge fglrx
those didn't work
I then did
user@ubuntu:~$ dpkg -l '*fglrx*'
which currently shows:

And I don't remember exactly what it showed earlier, but I know the top line was different, not "ii", but a captial "U" and a lower case "i" possibly, I could be wrong, but I do remember it being a capitol letter, don't remember what it was or which letter. I think it was telling me that "fglrx" was installed, but not correctly, since I couldn't enable compiz, it was like it was half way installed, and it wouldn't let me uninstall fglrx.
Here's more fyi:
