I am having troubles with apt: whenever I try to upgrade, install or --fix-broken, I get an error and nothings get upgraded, installed nor fixed.
Below is an example of the error I get.
root@server:~$ apt upgrade
Reading package lists... Done

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
