Thanks for your report.

Could you please attach the file /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/185.18.36/build/make.log to this report? Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry but there is no such file.
Maybe this is because i had some trouble after rebooting when the upgrade was finished.
At first i tried to run the computer as normal but instead of the log-in-screen there was a dialog-box where i could select whether i want low-graphics or some other things (i don't remember). But unfortunately only the upper half of the window was on the screen so i couldn't confirm my selection.
So I rebooted again and selected netroot in the recovery mode. Googleing how to install nvidia on 9.10 told me to type in:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa
To be honest i don't know what i've done but it worked.

Maybe this might help you too:
