The AMD Radeon R9 380X linux driver is not compatible with XServer 1.19.6_64a under Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS. Do you have any plans to make the driver compatible with many linux distributions?

Your answer was really useful, and will work for almost everybody, but there's only one problem left:

libwayland-egl1-mesa : Collides with: libwayland-egl1

I think the apt system doesn't really want to upgrade some packages as you can see.

Solution for people with the same problem with dpkg.

1. sudo mkdir /var/lib/dpkg/info/libwayland-egl1
2. sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/libwayland-egl1* /var/lib/dpkg/info/libwayland-egl1
3. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
