[Bug 1168537] Re: package python3 3.2.3-5ubuntu1.2 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/py3versions', which is also in package python3-minimal 3.2.3-5ubuntu1

[Brian Murray]

It certainly looks like it.  Its worth noting that the date in the
report is from the 4/10 while this was reported on 4/12, and the history
log file shows the package being upgraded on the 10th.  I'll add an
apport task for this bug to see if we can do something about this.
