I am able to reproduce the error every time in a VirtualMachine.
I am available for a demo through a video conf tool if you need help to reproduce.

Steps
=====

1. Install Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS in French
2. Add Google Chrome sources for instance in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list
3. `apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade`
4. In Software & Update accept to get distribution update even when it is not a LTS
5. Run `update-manage -d` and accept to upgrade.

You should see the following error and screenshot.
