Resolved this by removing and then installing the nvidia-common package. That appears to be where the problem was.

Curiously, when I uninstalled nvidia-common this error message was issued again. If that package was uninstalled, shouldn't the header_postinst.d file be removed?

Upon installing nvidia-common again, the error messages went away.
