I have certainly problem of dependencies, packages installed out of ubuntu... But what to do???
File apt.log shows many things but I don't see the problem. This computer runs first on 12.04 and I migrate up to 18.04 without too much problems (desktop, apache, virtualbox...). How to know which packages are not supported?

Best regards

According to VarLogDistupgradeMainlog.txt you don't have a desktop meta package installed. Please try installing ubuntu-desktop and upgrading again.
