Thank you Jonas,
Unfortunately, I'm still stuck. See below.

Hi debian users,
In the process of upgrading my debian testing laptop today, I finally
end up with a broken apt system.
I can't figure out how to get out of the mess I'm in.
I pasted a few commands and theirs results just below.
I hope this is going to make sense for some of you and that you could
give me some hints.
Thank you.
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
You did as you were told, but...

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/apt-listchanges", line 280, in
...unfortunately apt cannot always automatically fix when a package
hooking into apt itself is broken.
Concretely, you can manually move aside the file
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20listchanges and try above apt command again.
When apt is working again and you are done upgrading your system, then
most likely a newer /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20listchanges has been installed
and you can throw away the one you had put aside. If there is no such
file installed, then I recommend to _not_ put your file back, but
instead try "apt install --reinstall apt-listchanges" and see if that
installs a fresh configfile.
I did that, but the file 20listchanges hasn't been reinitiated.
And then :
# LANG=C apt install --reinstall apt-listchanges

Isn't there a problem with that /var/lib/dpkg/status file too ?
