Yeah that did the trick just running the update one more time after
searching for it, though don't know if it made any difference that I was
using amd64 but thanks @mimg2805 did the trick.

package python-sip (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to
overwrite
When I first tried to re-update by 'check'ing again, update-manager
crashed lp517464. Next time I re-ran update-manager it told me there
were problems with the packages and offered to perform a partial
distribution upgrade (3 packages removed, 6 new packages installed, 15
upgraded). I'll report
Looks like the partial distribution upgrade cleared up the package
problem for me (i386). Should have never appeared, though. This is not
stuff for the faint of heart.

The cause is failure to declare appropriate Conflicts and Replaces when
renaming the package.
