Reviewing the files from your upgrade attempt, you have installed packages from the remmina-ppa-team/remmina-next PPA. Some of the packages installed are newer than those in the official archive, which is preventing the upgrade from being calculated. Please try running ppa-purge ppa:remmina-ppa-team/remmina-next to remove packages installed from that PPA. After that you can try upgrading again and if it still fails open a new bug report. Thanks and good luck!
