I am having a recurring issue trying to install amdgpu-pro-18.40-697810-ubuntu-18.04 on my new system build. I run through the directions of extraction and [sudo ./amdgpu-install]. This tells me I have 124 files to install. During this process I get:
"Preparing to unpack .../023-amdgpu-core_18.40-697810_all.deb ...
ERROR: This package can only be installed on Ubuntu 18.04.
dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-OIjzah/023-amdgpu-core_18.40-697810_all.deb (--unpack):
new amdgpu-core package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1"
At this point I can not update/upgrade any further software on my computer because I get errors like below where it forces me to install amdgpu-core.
sudo apt --fix-broken install

This is a gaming build as I stream on Twitch, and I need the up-to-date drivers. I know there is the 18.04/18.10 issue, but it there a workaround, or do I have to downgrade to 18.04?
Thanks! (sorry about the ugly long post, I am new here)
