I am trying to install the package freefem++ via command-line and I stumble upon a strange conflict. Indeed freefem++ is a finite element solver for PDE and I can't see why it wants to remove my graphics driver fglrx.
sudo apt-get install freefem++

I still have the ability to install it from source but I'd rather use the repo. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT:
On topic again, I did what you advised and just two packages were lost : libhwloc-plugins and ocl-icd-libopencl1. Can I proceed without any further worry ?
