Title:
  LANG=C; ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported fails from non-
  English language

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This bug report corresponds to #1556386, but is created in a clean
  live system, which must not be 'private', and which is not affected by
  several other installed packages and tweaks.

  The live system is using Swedish. I try to get the output in English,
  so I used LANG=C.

  lubuntu at lubuntu:~$ ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported
