when doing upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 there is an error

Question

I got this error when doing upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 and power-lost in the middle.

This is what the error looked like, and apt-get install -f does not fix it.

From 18.04 to 20.04 LTS I guess. Try to install Aptitude with `sudo apt-get install aptitude` — N0rbert, Apr 30 '20 at 18:12
$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS Release: 18.04 Codename: bionic — Jigyansha, Apr 30 '20 at 18:15
Also add output of `grep -r ^deb /etc/apt/ --include="*.list"` to the question by [editing it](https://askubuntu.com/posts/1233600/edit). — N0rbert, Apr 30 '20 at 18:17
Add the output of `apt-cache policy apt apt-utils libgcc1 libatomic1` to the question body. — N0rbert, Apr 30 '20 at 18:29
You have a big mess of packages and their versions. We need to revert them to 18.04 LTS versions. Try `sudo apt-get install apt=1.6.12`. — N0rbert, Apr 30 '20 at 18:35
We can try to revert GCC toolchain with `sudo apt-get install ppa-purge` , `sudo ppa-purge:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test` and then continue. — N0rbert, Apr 30 '20 at 18:41
Try fixing your repositories list and PPAs following [this answew](https://askubuntu.com/a/1169696/968501) then follow [this answer](https://askubuntu.com/a/1164505/968501) to fix missing and broken packages and upgrade. — Raffa, Apr 30 '20 at 18:54
