My issue happened (this is my conclusion) because my Debian 9 was not
updated when I followed the steps to change sources.list to those of
Debian 10. This is something that should be added in Debian
documentation, in my opinion. It is also important to note that third
party sources should be disabled, to avoid possible conflicts or
problems that should be addressed only after the OS upgrade ends
successfully.
I also made something much wrong by not rebooting the computer after
each 'apt upgrade' for the next version. So, i ended up with a computer
with packages and sources.list of Debian 11, but it was not quite that.
So, i remade all steps. And my first steps were to restore my Debian 9
sources.list, 'apt update' and 'apt upgrade' it.
A more detailed story is in the thread i pointed in my first message here:

Thank you all.
