Aha.
Although I personally have never done anything to apt (I'm too
cautious and lacking in knowledge), it seems that there was a version
in /usr/local/bin. I've no idea how it got there, and have deleted it.
I've now got your two commands "sudo apt -f install", and "sudo apt
full-upgrade" to complete correctly. I assume I now have a proper
installation of 19.04.
Many thanks for your patience.
