Yes, something went wrong.

Run this to see what happened:

  ls -l /var/cache/apt

  ls -l /home


In /home you should see a directory "archives".  In /var/cache/apt you
should see a symbolic link pointing to home; it should look something
like:

  lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root [...] archives -> /home/archives

If I had to guess from what you've shown us, I'd say you mistyped the
move (mv) command.  You should be able to run something like:

  history | grep archive

and see all the commands you entered to that shell that contain the word
"archive".
