I just logged into my system, the update-manager popped up and said there where a number of updates. When I told it to install them it went ahead, but in the middle of the update it reported that Ubuntu had experienced a problem (the update went on though) and when I reported it it offered me a largish number of issues that might be duplicates. I chose this one because it had the exact same subject line as the bug report generated for me.
I searched under /var/lib/dkms/ and there where no files named DKMSBuildLog.txt there. However, the was /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-375/375.66/4.4.0-83-generic/x86_64/log/make.log with a timestamp matching approximately when the error occurred. However, it didn't appear to have any errors in it.
/var/log/apt/term.log was slightly more interesting. It had the following in it:

I'll attach it as well. The log file mentioned (/var/lib/dkms/nvidia-375/375.66/build/make.log) however, does not exist.
