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.

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.
