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
