I tried to update the system yesterday and some files didn't install, so now I'm getting this. I can't update anything.

I can't do anything with the system at all. I think I need to reinstall everything.

One problem at a time. Next run

sudo apt upgrade -y

and show the result

let's try

sudo apt install -f

#

What's the result?

I typed this command and everything worked

Now control over the PC is back

You might want to also run

sudo apt autoremove

you have a lot of old kernels installed

What is this command now and what does it do? Will it break my system? Otherwise, I'll have to go to another location and fix the server on-site, which I don't want to do.

The command removes packages that were installed as dependencies at some point, but no longer required by any other installed package. It's considered safe cleanup command

Ok
