Title:
  package dkms 2.2.0.3-1.1ubuntu5.14.04.2 failed to install/upgrade:
  package dkms is already installed and configured

Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
  Release:	14.04

  Running software updater I get the message waiting for configuration file prompt. The prompt is:
  Replace your changes in 'etc/ati/atiapfxx' with a later version of the configuration file?
  The list of changes is empty. Selecting either command button (Keep or Replace) does nothing and the system is hung.
  I closed both the prompt and SoftwareUpdater dialogs and rebooted. I then removed the AMD proprietary driver. While it was being applied I got this???
