Ive tried to update a non GUI system from Wheezy to Stretch and its gone

Theres so many errors I cant even begin to fathom out what has gone
wrong and I think the only solution is going to be a clean install.
New infrastructure, new apt.
Where you left off run #apt-get -f install and then #dpkg --configure -a
Do that a couple of times and then you can start using the new apt, as
in #apt update #apt upgrade and then install package 'upgrade-system'
and run it and use -f install when you have to and dpkg --configure -a
until done.
Would I have been wise to upgrade it to Jessie first?
Easier for sure, but you would still use the same steps as above.
