WARNING: Security updates for your current Hardware Enablement Stack
ended on 2016-08-04:
 * http://wiki.ubuntu.com/1404_HWE_EOL

There is a graphics stack installed on this system. An upgrade to a
configuration supported for the full lifetime of the LTS will become
available on 2016-07-21 and can be installed by running 'update-manager'
in the Dash.
    
The fglrx driver which you have installed was deprecated in 16.04,
if you install the 16.04 Hardware Enablement stack the driver will be
removed.  See the wiki page for details.

bdmurray at upgrade-trusty-amd64:~$ hwe-support-status --show-all-unsupported | grep fglrx
xserver-xorg-core-lts-wily fglrx xserver-xorg-video-neomagic-lts-wily 
xserver-xorg-video-vesa-lts-wily fglrx-core 


That's part of the verification.

  HWE upgrade to lts-xenial stack fails if fglrx is installed

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in xorg-server-lts-xenial package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in update-manager source package in Trusty:

Status in xorg-server-lts-xenial source package in Trusty:

Bug description:
  Trying to upgrade from the lts-vivid, lts-utopic, or lts-wily stack to
  the lts-xenial stack as recommended by hwe-support-status creates a
  situation the apt problem resolver can not sort out due to fglrx being
  deprecated in 16.04.  update-manager should notify you that fglrx is
  no longer supported, and xserver-xorg-core-lts-xenial should conflict
  with fglrx packages so the upgrade can succeed.

  Test Case
  ---------
  1) Install fglrx on a 14.04 system
  2) Install the lts-wily hwe stack
  3) Run sudo apt-get install $(hwe-support-status --show-replacements)

  You'll encounter an error message like the following:

  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-xenial : Depends: libglapi-mesa-lts-xenial (= 11.2.0-1ubuntu2~trusty1) but it is not going to be installed
   xserver-xorg-lts-xenial : Recommends: xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-xenial but it is not going to be installed
                             Recommends: xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-xenial but it is not going to be installed
                             Recommends: libgles2-mesa-lts-xenial but it is not going to be installed
                             Recommends: libgles1-mesa-lts-xenial but it is not going to be installed
                             Conflicts: libglapi-mesa (>= 0~)
                             Conflicts: libgles2-mesa (>= 0~)

  With the version of xserver-xorg-core-lts-xenial the upgrade should be
  calculated.  Additionally, "hwe-support-status --show-all-unsupported"
  should list the fglrx that are installed.  The messaging from hwe-
  suuport-status should also mention that the fglrx driver is
  deprecated.
