Unfortunately I don't speak French and the log is very incomplete.
Do you have a backup of the system so you could rerun the upgrade
process with debugging enabled?
Or do have at least a complete log of the upgrade process, to see which
packages were involved?
Otherwise there is unfortunately not a lot we can do.
It's basically dpkg/apt that decides to remove systemd for some reason.
And the systemd preinst script prevents that (as intended).
Can you check, if you have packages installed, that conflict with systemd?
