What is the correct way to install ATI Catalyst Video Drivers in 12.04 LTS?:

This is relation [to a previous question I asked here that was described][1] as an exact duplicate.

I started following the instruction given and I am getting below messages in terminal

Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package dkgcc1 E: Unable to locate package libc6-i386ms E: Unable to locate package> lib32

[Here is the full terminal transcript][2]

I am not technical but if its any help my machine is 64bit

From Ubuntu Community Documentation (For v 12.4)

Ubuntu 12.04 Precise:

sudo sh amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/precise

If it is required, a package manager window will open and install some dependencies and after a while create the following four .deb packages:

fglrx_8.961-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
fglrx-amdcccle_8.961-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
fglrx-dev_8.961-0ubuntu1_amd64.de

Note: It will also create a file called fglrx-installer_8.961-0ubuntu1_amd64.changes. If you wish you can read this file to know the changes that have been effected through AMD/ATI Catalyst 12.3 and related information.

To install the created .deb files, type: 

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Note: In case any of the packages are broken, open Synaptic Package Manager and go to Edit -> Fix Broken Packages. In case you are new to Ubuntu, broken here means that some dependent packages are not yet installed. Once you sort out the issue as indicated above through the Synaptic Package Manager, the problem of broken packages should be resolved.

Continuing with the installation, type: 

sudo aticonfig --initial

After this command, reboot your system. If all is right, the fglrx driver that corresponds to AMD/ATI Catalyst 12.3 will be installed and working on your system. To confirm the drivers are working open a terminal and type:

fglrxinfo

You should get an output similar to the following:

display: :0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500 Series
OpenGL version string: 3.3.11631 Compatibility Profile Context

Any help welcome
