Dear Stefan, first of all thanks for having suggested some path to follow.
See here:

Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution). root@noc /var/log/apt # ########################################################
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:
