The empty result from "dpkg -V libapt-pkg6.0:amd64" is good - it

Please try "ldconfig" and then "dpkg --configure -a". If these
don't
fix things you're probably going to have to re-install because we
can't work with a dpkg that says it successfully installed apt when
it didn't.

Probably I jumped the gun to get some packages working with dpkg; because, you
see, I am busy with stuff in the outside world, yet some of this depends on
having a working machine, and I have very little spare time at present to go
through yet another reinstallation. However, maybe tomorrow ...
sudo ldconfig returns nothing at all.
sudo dpkg --configure -a

I actually use ufw. I have considered making more use of iptables, but ufw is
my go-to firewall at the moment.
