Error! Bad dkms.conf file after apt-get upgrade

Show all headers | View raw

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] - view raw

Hello all,
After running 'apt-get install upgrade' the system reported the data below.
How can I overcome this issue?  

Is it just a matter of loading a proper dkms.conf file, perhaps from another Stretch installation, or is there an official dkms.conf file that I can download somewhere, or is it a matter of removing the dkms package and reinstalling it, or repairing/reinstalling it?

I am grateful for any assistance/insight into this issue you are able to provide.  ADVthanksANCE.
Best regards,Larry
