This is how I got around the error: While the error message is still displayed (do not close it!), open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install blcr-dkms" (without the quotes) and type your password when requested (it will not be displayed as you type), then let the installation proceed to the end. When it's complete you can close the error dialogue box and restart the upgrade. It should proceed beyond this roadblock.
All the best with this.
