Ok...For anyone with a Dell XPS 13 9360 who experiences an issue like
this:

So I decided to purge and reinstall DKMS:

sudo apt-get purge dkms

BUT that removes all the following:

dkms hid-multitouch-dkms intel-hid-dkms intel-vbutton-dkms oem-audio-
hda-daily-dkms virtualbox-dkms

I purged, then went in and manually deleted /var/ib/dkms and all its
folders.  I thought I could just copy/paste that line above with apt-get
install to reinstall everything.  I was wrong.

I have a Dell XPS 13 9360 Developer Edition laptop which has some Dell
provided driver kernel modules.

oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms was available on their update repo.  That was
installed by apt-get just fine.

hid-multitouch-dkms intel-hid-dkms intel-vbutton-dkms were NOT available
in their update repo.  I had to pull those from the Dell OEM Recovery
ISO they offer of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

I installed them using dpkg.

I then found the following to rebuild kernel modules:

ls /var/lib/initramfs-tools | \
    sudo xargs -n1 /usr/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller start

All appears fine again, but what a pain!!!
