I saw that this thread was already solved. Congratulations! I just
wanted to highlight that last line there and thank the Developer(s)
who added it to apt. It's a handy, useful tip popping up in a very
appropriate place that makes it accessible to users of various
experience levels. I'm always hopeful that tips like that inspire new
users to follow their curiosity over to "man apt" to see what other
helpful flags/commands might be humbly lurking in the nearby shadows.

I don't know if that part was considered also solved so am a-suming
most likely yes. Just throwing in that there's always the possibility
of a stuck keyboard key if nothing else works in that specific kind of
case.
Stuck keyboard keys are the first thing I test. I do so by giving my
Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys (all *6* of them if present) a couple pops.
Doesn't always help, but it *has* helped enough that it's a conscious
check point on my own debugging list. :)
