Title:
  package python3 3.2.3-5ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: trying to
  overwrite '/usr/bin/py3versions', which is also in package
  python3-minimal 3.2.3-5ubuntu1

Status in “python3-defaults” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I just did an update per the system telling me to do so.  While doing
  the upgrade auto style it errored out.  Now I know the download was
  completed successfully, and that it was only during the actual
  installation it bailed. I was able to get this fixed by running sudo
  apt-get -f install with no further variables on the line and bam it
  was able to correct the issue and I can now run apt-get update without
  getting an error.
