In my experience apt-get is seldom able to solve it's own problems. dpkg --force-overwrite is sometimes more effective but usually I have had to resort to remove/reinstall packages to clear this sort of problem. Some times this doesn't work either because apt-get (or better, dpkg -P) removes so much else it's not practical.
It looks like the problem is with fglrx so I would try remove fglrx then reinstall it afterwords. I tried apt-get -s remove fglrx to see what would happen but it's not on my system. .
