I'm a bit stumped how to get myself out of this one. At the
moment I cannot do any dpkg operations and I'm not too
confident my system will boot this kernel if I restart it.

aha that could be the culprit:

trickier, no tree on this machine (yet), will find do for
now?

/etc/modprobe.d
/etc/modprobe.d/libpisock9.conf

/etc/modprobe.d/hsf.conflicts.conf
/etc/modprobe.d/display_class.conf
/etc/modprobe.d/arch
/etc/modprobe.d/hsf.conf

Just performed

    rmdir arch
    mv arch.conf arch

and then

    dpkg --configure -a

This appears to have unstuck dpkg/apt!

I wonder if I did something dumb like 

rename 's,^(.*)$,$1.conf' in /etc/modprobe.d to try and
shut out Marco's annoying warning messages?

Thank you for your help.
