Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make
Ubuntu better. This however is not a bug, as the issue is you are trying
to install a release that is past EOL in a condition where it is needs
to get extra packages (apt-install) but those packages are no longer
available [where expected] due to EOL status.

Lubuntu 17.10 was the 2017-October (yy.mm format) release of Lubuntu, it
had a supported life of 9 months, reaching EOL middle 2018. After a
release reaches EOL, it's repositories of software are moved from
archive.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com (thus the installer can't
find it if your system needs packages not included on the install
media).  You can of course trick this to work, but you should be
installing a supported release anyway.

Lubuntu 18.10 (from 2018-October) reaches EOL this Thursday, so 19.04
(2019-April) release if you want the modern LXQt desktop, or 18.04 LTS
(2018-April with 3 years support) are your best options.
