Public bug reported:

Upgrading 16.04.4 to 17.04 via Software Updater.  All went well until
almost the last few minutes when I got the error msg: "Could not install
'var/cache/apt/archives/ubuntu-docs_17.04.03_all.deb'".  Added message
was: Symbolic link '/usr/share/help/br/ubuntu-help/addremove-
sources.page' size has changed from 60 to 0.

Shortly thereafter I got a second error: "Could not install ubuntu.docs"    Additional msg was: "Package ubuntu-docs is already installed and configured"  (Quotes in both cases are mine)
A few seconds later I got the Error that the upgrade failed then the screen reverted back to the desktop.

At that point I opened a terminal to check to see what was really
running and got:

r@r-M-7301U:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 17.04
Release:	17.04
Codename:	zesty
r@r-M-7301U:~$ 

I was running 16.04.4 when I started.

Hope this covers what happened vs what I expected.
