This might have some to do with the fact that you have no desktop metapackage installed.

2014-12-21 17:09:36,207 DEBUG none of the '['ubuntu-desktop', 'kubuntu-desktop', 'xubuntu-desktop', 'ubuntustudio-desktop', 'mythbuntu-desktop', 'kubuntu-netbook', 'lubuntu-desktop']' meta-pkgs installed
2014-12-21 17:09:36,207 DEBUG guessing 'ubuntu-desktop' as missing meta-pkg

Please try installing the one of your preference and then trying the upgrade again. Thanks!
