Bug Description

I attempted to upgraded from Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04 and received a failure notification but it seemed to install anyway. Now when I try to install an app or update anything I am receiving errors. The system says it is running Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS, even though the upgrade supposedly failed. I received a notice of updates, via Software & Updates (a pop-up - Live Patch, I am guessing) while I was busy with other files on my computer. I accepted the updates and here we are. I'm kind of new to Ubuntu still, even though I have had a small course on it, and this is my first major issue, as well as my first bug report. So I am not too certain what all I need to include. I have attempted several installs via the terminal since the upgrade as well and all have failed. Wish I could roll-back to 20.04 and start over on the upgrade. My next steps are to attempt a repair if I don't receive any other recommendations.
