The output of the grep, cat, zcat commands given in my earlier message would have been really helpful to debug how you got into this mess. Of course, you should have ran them before trying to switch to saima ...
Dear Stefan,
there was a previous message of mine, which has been hold for moderation (I attached files - so the overall message's size trespassed list's limits).
Let me past here, without attachment (there were in-line also).
Dear Stefan, first of all thanks for having suggested some path to follow.
See here:

So that is a dead end. And "apt --fix-broken install" is just the same:

So we're actually using X2Go stock from the Ubuntu repositories.
And with regards to how the mess has happened, history.log was actually/already rotated, and this is what I see, after having grepped /var/log/apt/history.log.1.gz, looking for "x2go" recurrences:

In the end: the origin of the problem was caused by Discover automatic updates. I authorized those packages to be updated, and soon after this is what I got:

After first errors - from inside Discover itself - we got this also (the client-side suspension was not effective at all).
[inline image now removed]
And now, if we try to re-connect:

Thanks for further suggestions, if any, and best regards, e.-
