I clicked “Continue the partial update” ; Now I have lots of packages to install and I don't want to

Hi everyone,


First of all, thank you for reading my mail :-) .


Due to a supposed problem in my Ubuntu 18's packages, I could not upgrade
to Ubuntu 20. Instead of checking what was going wrong with all the
packages problems, I solved one or two packages problems (I think) and
then, even if some problems were still present (I think), I wanted to start
the upgrade to Ubuntu 20 (big mistake...!).

The graphical upgrader (or CLI, I don't remember) told me that I was going
to do a Partial Upgrade. I clicked on "Continue". Then, I stopped it.

*I'm still on Ubuntu 18. So the partial upgrade isn't done I think.*

*Now when I type: sudo apt-get update/upgrade/dist-upgrade, I get:*

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer
required:

(lots of packages)

The following packages will be REMOVED:

(lots of packages)

The following NEW packages will be installed:

(lots of packages)

The following packages will be upgraded:

(lots of packages)

2009 upgraded, 377 newly installed, 104 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

I think all these packages are related to my Partial Upgrade. *However I
want to cancel my Partial Upgrade. In other words, I don't want to see all
these packages. What should I do?*
What I've already tried

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* but it didn't work...

Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
