After upgrading python the InvalidUrl is gone, but I still can't run psql

I followed
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1223270/psql-command-error-postgresql-version-12-is-not-installed
with no luck, apt-purge simply states that pg12 is not installed.

I have a production server running pg9.5 seamlessly.
Yesterday I decided to install libpq to have some crypto functions.
Unexpectedly, it installed postgresql 12 and its libpq.
I don't need pg 12, so I decided to remove it.
It did not went well
root@datastore-1:/home/user# apt-get --purge remove postgresql-client-12

After this, the package is not anymore on the installed list and I'm

Error: PostgreSQL version 12 is not installed
How can I repair this?
Thanks in advance
Moreno.
