After some further investigation, the problem was due to some unsolved 
dependencies, that strangely not appeared in synaptic package manager. After 
removal and reinstallation of a bunch of packages the upgrade went fine.
May be the error message returned by the upgrade process in such cases could be 
more detailed, for instance by outputting the faulty packages.
