We may want to add cinnamon-desktop to data/DistUpgrade.cfg.

However, that probably won't help out your specific case as you don't
have that package installed and I believe you should.

Title:
  Failure using auto upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04 with cinnamon from PPA

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  After a system restart and login using Unity desktop, the distro upgrade message displays.  Selected upgrade.
  Packages analysed and downloaded, but then within the second stage process "Setting new software channels", the "Can't install ubuntu-desktop" message is displayed and requests a bug/error log is recorded here.

  I do have and normally use the Cinnamon desktop.  This is still
  installed, though I logged in using Unity in effort to allow the
  upgrade (it has at least got as far as allowing reporting of this
  error).  A similar issue occurred on upgrade from 14.04 to 14.10 and
  seemed to be caused by having Cinnamon installed that time.

  As Cinnamon is such a popular desktop choice, I don't know why
  Canonical don't support this configuration during upgrades (if this is
  the problem cause) - or even officially release a Cinnamon Ubuntu
  variation (e.g. "Cibuntu").
