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

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.
