The recent update to kernel 5.0.0-17 is causing problems on one PC here.
Specifically, no matter if it is deleted and downloaded again, apt-get and dpkg have an error when dealing with /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-modules-extra-5.0.0-17-generic_5.0.0-17.18_amd64.deb and this leaves 5.0.0-17 useless, because it has no network connectivity or mouse drivers available. (Fortunately, the keyboard still works, so it's possible to reboot and select 5.0.0-16 instead.
Interestingly, the error is with a different module each time, for example:
