I was attempting to upgrade from Mint 19 to Mint 20 and it got hung up on a package and aborted after the kernel upgrade. I fixed the offending package is there a way to restart the upgrade or am I just in limbo? When I try to run mintupgrade again it says my packages are too new

Since Mint 20 is just out of support in 2025, I would recommend at least test-driving 22.1 off a usb stick. if it performs well enough for you, then back-up your data to offline (or an online web) drive, and reinstall 22.1 fresh
