After commenting otu Comment out "alias nouveau off and "alias lbm-nouveau off" from nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf and re-running apt, I fould that that file gets overwritten during install / upgrade.
So, I worked around this issue by opening nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf in a text editor and continuously saving it while the install proceeded. This enabled the install to complete.
Executing "update-initramfs -u" manually may also work.
