Thanks, now I have an idea what is going on. Here is your problem:
,----

`----
That means that the file has been diverted, see dpkg-divert(8). And
probably the directory /usr/lib/nvidia does not exist (any more),
causing the strange error message you have seen.
Please show the output of
/usr/sbin/dpkg-divert --list /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so
since I don't know of any package that would divert that file. Probably
removing the diversion with "dpkg-divert --remove" will solve your problem.
