I was attempting to upgrade from Debian 9 (Stretch) to Debian 10 (Buster). However, while my sudo apt full-upgrade command was running (after changing my sources.list file), my connection to my server ended. When I attempt to try this command again, (or any apt install command) I get this output:
> sudo apt full-upgrade

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.

The error message suggests running atp --fix-broken install, however when I try running this I am faced with another error:

I may be able to complete a full system restore if I need to, but since everything else on my system seems operable I was hoping there was some other way to fix this error. I supposedly have successfully upgraded to Debian 10 (Buster), as shown by the output of my lsb_release command.
