I tried to upgrade my system via do-release-upgrade but some error occured. Now whatever I do (upgrade, dist-uprade, dpkg --configure -a, etc), I get many errors. For example:

root@hcompneu:~# apt-get dist-upgrade -f

I have no idea how to resolve this. I tried many of the commands found here on Askubuntu for similar errors but none of them work.

Any suggestion would be welcome.

apt-mark showhold gives nothing.

I tried also apt, apt-get, aptitude, synaptics. All behave somewhat different but end up in errors.

You have to try Aptitude. Install it with `sudo apt-get install aptitude` and then run `sudo aptitude dist-upgrade` .

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
