The error in your log is:

Paramétrage de update-notifier-common (3.168.7) ...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloader", line 24, in <module>
    import debian.deb822
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/debian/deb822.py", line 38, in <module>

ImportError: No module named 'chardet'
dpkg: erreur de traitement du paquet update-notifier-common (--configure) :
 le sous-processus script post-installation installé a retourné une erreur de sortie d'état 1

update-notifier-common depends on python3-debian, which depends on python3-chardet. Why is the chardet module not on your python path?
