Change your locale with this command and try to upgrade. Sorry its late. Just seen this and needed a sign up :(

sudo update-locale LANG=en_ZM.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=POSIX

you need to logout for it to have effect and then you can upgrade

Try adding this line to /etc/environment and rebooting.
LC_ALL="en_US.utf8"

Thanks @generaleye, fixed it for me.

Thanks @generaleye!

@generaleye Thanks. Worked for me.

Great quick fix @generaleye
Thanks!

run this command will help to

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

and this;
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8

Try adding this line to /etc/environment and rebooting.
LC_ALL="en_US.utf8"

thanks!

Thanks @generaleye! Also worked for me :)

thanks @generaleye
