[Bug 1171302] Re: package python-dev 2.7.3-0ubuntu2.1 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/pkgconfig/python2.pc', which is also in package python2.7 2.7.3-0ubuntu3.1

[Adriaan Erasmus]

I made changes to my /etc/apt/sources.list using a website that
generates this file for you. I noticed that whenever I select South
Africa as my country a lot of errors of this sort occur, but when I
switch to another country like USA or UK everything seems fine.
