[Bug 1725333] Re: do-release-upgrade broke WSL

[Adam Conrad]

17.04 and 17.10 are both EOL and no further updates can or will be made
there.  For people still attempting to upgrade WSL, the best option is
probably just to start fresh with an 18.04 WSL install.

** Changed in: bash (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix

** Changed in: glibc (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I had Ubuntu 17.04 installed in WSL and decided to upgrade it to
  17.10, so I had run do-release-upgrade, as I did before to upgrade to
  17.04. Everything was fine before script started upgrading packages.
  It's started from bash updating, and somehow there is a problem
  revealed that locale files is missing, and locale-gen can't be run
  (because of bug in WSL). I've tried to install language-pack-en as was
  suggested, but problem haven't resolved, any attempt to update leads
  to this error.
