When you last applied the upgrades to your system, how were these done? The only logs present show an apt-get upgrade, which should have interactively prompted you about the combination of dkms and secureboot. But this failure shows that shim-signed could not prompt you due to a lack of debconf frontend. This usually happens only when using graphical package managers, not when using apt-get upgrade directly.

These updates were part of the automatic downloading and updating. Was probably just an error. If it seems serious, let me know

Ok, the logs attached to your bug report suggest this was not entirely automatic; the completely automated process would show up as 'unattended-upgrades', but that doesn't show in your log. Was there no GUI presented to you when this update was happening?
