Looks like this is due to the circular dependency:

Package: libdevmapper1.02.1
Depends: [...], dmsetup (>= 2:1.02.110-1ubuntu1)

Package: dmsetup
Depends: [...], libdevmapper1.02.1 (>= 2:1.02.107), [...]

This bug was fixed in the package lvm2 - 2.02.133-1ubuntu2

---------------
lvm2 (2.02.133-1ubuntu2) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Lower libdevmapper1.02.1's Depends: dmsetup to a Recommends:. This breaks
    the circular dependency that causes upgrade failures. As dmsetup is
    "Priority: required", this has no other practical consequences.
