From Apttermlog we see:

And shortly before the upgrade we can see at least nautilus being removed (History.log):

Remove: libevolution:amd64 (3.2.3-0ubuntu2), libncurses5:i386 (5.9-4), libyelp0:amd64 (3.3.3-0ubuntu1), gir1.2-rb-3.0:amd64 (2.95-0ubuntu2), gnome-shell:amd64 (3.2.2.1-0ubuntu1), eclipse-jdt:amd64 (3.7.1-1), gnome-media:amd64 (2.91.2-3ubuntu4), metacity:amd64 (2.34.1-1ubuntu5), nautilus:amd64 (3.3.5-0ubuntu2),

I don't know what was going on, but its not something we can fix.
