Try running the following command on terminal:

Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdrm-amdgpu1
Then try to repeat the update

Hi Alex Kevlar your suggestion didn't work:

moshe7@moshe7-ThinkPad-T420 ~ $ sudo apt-get install libdrm-amdgpu
[sudo] password for moshe7:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libdrm-amdgpu
moshe7@moshe7-ThinkPad-T420 ~ $

libdrm-amdgpu1 not libdrm-amdgpu

edit: of course this still won't work because you would need to use something like

sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" install libdrm-amdgpu1
