Can't upgrade to Ubuntu 21.04 : "Restoring original system state. Aborting"

I am trying to install Kubuntu 21.04 but I get this error that never happened before :

Restoring original system state

Aborting
Reading package lists... Done    
Building dependency tree          
Reading state information... Done

I tried to disable all the PPA, without success.

Here is the /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log output :
