I was using AMDGPU-pro 17.10, decided to go for 17.50. the uninstall script that came with the packages seemed to uninstall correctly. Next i download 17.50 from the AMD website and attempted to install it. That's where the fun begins. It starts the process and then fails with this error.
$ ./amdgpu-pro-install
