I'd try installing ubuntu-desktop before starting the upgrade e.g. "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop".

I tried to install ubuntu-desktop. Did not work. Below the messages. They are in Dutch.
A rough translation: some packages could not be installed etc.
The following packages have unmet requirements...
Can't solve the problems, you are holding broken packages...

Any suggestions as to what I might do to get this resolved?

Sommige pakketten konden niet geïnstalleerd worden. Dit kan betekenen dat u
een onmogelijke situatie gevraagd hebt of dat u de 'unstable'-distributie
gebruikt en sommige benodigde pakketten nog vastzitten in 'incoming'.
De volgende informatie helpt u mogelijk verder:

De volgende pakketten hebben niet-voldane vereisten:
ubuntu-desktop : Vereisten: ubuntu-session maar het zal niet geïnstalleerd worden
Aanbevelingen: empathy maar het zal niet geïnstalleerd worden
E: Kan problemen niet verhelpen, u houdt defecte pakketten vast.

Just found out that doing a sudo apt-get update also throws a message. Not sure whether it is related but here it is:

GPG-error: public key could not be verified because it is not available.

W: GPG-fout: http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty Release: De volgende ondertekeningen konden niet geverifieerd worden omdat de publieke sleutel niet beschikbaar is: NO_PUBKEY 4DF9B28CA252A784

I solved the missing pub key by using y ppa manager. That seems to have been a none related issue, however.

The upgrade-manager still aborts with the same message which suggest I report an error by the terminal command ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core.

Any suggestions are welcome.
Can I give more information to help?
