I presume you were in the middle of the ical transition:
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/ical.html
Also, #774924 could very well be the cause for this. but hard to say.

Have a look at the /var/backups/ directory, the dpkg.status file from
before the upgrade would be interesting to reproduce this and confirm
my suspicions (or not).

Usual disclaimer: the dpkg status file contains information about all
packages you have installed on your system and in which version. If you
don't want/can't make this information public, you can also sent it to
me privately.


Best regards
