Ok, this appears to be a GNOME-specific error message.
Could you restart the computer, try to log in, wait until that
message pops up, don't close the message, switch to another console
(Ctrl+Alt+F2) and run the following command as root?
journalctl -b1 -n40 _UID=1000
(Replace 1000 with your user id, you can look it via running id in
the console as your normal user; 1000 is the default for the first
user created by the Debian installer.)
See if there's anything in that output that might be relevant here.

Side note: you have jessie-backports in there twice (first and last
uncommented line), but that's completely harmless. Otherwise, looks
fine.
Could you run
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
and see if it still wants to upgrade additional software?
Also, what kernel version are you running? (Find that out via the
command "uname -a".)
