That looks more like some kind of file corruption to me since the
symbol name is not complete.  Or did you truncate the error message
somehow?

What repositories do you use?

Try to install the "apt" package again with dpkg.  That is, download

install it.

(I would have to do some digging to tell you the exact version numbers
you should be using...)
