Please re-read my original email. The typo is intended:

"for apt 1.2.31 (amd64) provided by Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS, apt doesn't
display a "help list", if you type something wrong [3], [4]."

Rephrased: At least for this older version of apt, you don not get a
"help list", even not if you type an incorrect command.

My first example for good reasons is without a typo:

"[1]
[weremouse at moonstudio ~]$ sudo apt -f install
[sudo] password for weremouse: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded."

However, Colin is the only one who actually tested with 19.04.
"sudo apt -f install" without typo should still work as usual.
