package dkms_2.0.21.1-0ubuntu3_all.deb failed to install/upgrade:

Binary package hint: dkms

This crash occurred during upgrade from Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04. The error message suggests that package dkms_2.0.21.1-0ubuntu3_all.deb should be re-installed before continuing but any attempt to re-install or remove the package results in this crash and the same error message. I've Goog'd into oblivion with zero results.
