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

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no

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

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:
