I'm really new at Linux, But I'm really enjoying the learning curve so far
for all of its frustrations.
So I'm actually operating on a mobile phone. I've installed Ubuntu 20.4 in
Termux. With the phoneps architecture, more or less it's similar to using a
Raspberry Pi.
My silly question is when doing any apt type commands, it's always shows me
that 1 program is partially installed or not removed.
How dobI figure out what that program is so i can get that cleared up?

Thanks.
Neither od Rick's suggestions fixed the message, so I'm leaving it alone.
It's more of an annoyance than a problem, and nothing I am running have any
issues I have seen.

Have you tried apt install --fix-missing or --fix-broken?
