Thanks for reaching out. While The conflicting package is unrelated to pi-apps, we here can try to help you, or at least point you in the right direction. :)

After a quick google search somebody else had this issue. See: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1469881/getting-an-error-every-time-i-install-something-with-apt
Can you see what happens when you run sudo apt remove xtrx-dkms?
Before you confirm yes, does that command ask if you really want to uninstall a bunch of stuff, or only that package?

/usr/sbin/dkms: line 2497: echo: write error: Broken pipe
Deleting module xtrx-0.0.1+git20190320.5ae3a3e-3.2 completely from the DKMS tree.

this output indicates to me that the script /usr/sbin/dkms itself is bugged
this line corresponds to

# The <(cmd) idiom does not work if /proc is not mounted
if [ ! -e <(echo) ]; then
    warn $"dkms will not function properly if /proc is not mounted."
fi

in the dkms script

I am going to close this issue as not our issue. Please uninstall the problematic package (as @Botspot instructed above) and raise an issue or comment on an existing one with Debian

sudo apt remove xtrx-dkms worked! Thank you for your assistance on a non Pi-Apps issue to get me up and running.

Awesome! Good to see it was that easy. Do you happen to remember why you had that installed to begin with?
