Great that it worked. Actually this kind of problem has been reported
several times before, which is the reason why I marked this report as a
duplicate bug.

One thing I see is that there seems to be room for cleaning up your disk
from unneeded packages by running the command:

sudo apt autoremove

(That command will take quite some time to complete.)

Title:
  package ubuntu-docs 16.04.4 failed to install/upgrade: symbolic link
  '/usr/share/help/br/ubuntu-help/addremove-sources.page' size has
  changed from 60 to 0

Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
