Bug#669328: Further problems with updating to fix this bug

[Kitty PC <kittyinapc@gmail.com>]

Sorry about the mix up I meant to type python-apt instead of
python-gtk (I had gtk on the mind it seems). Would it be safe to
ignore the conflict in this case and install the new apt so I can stop
having translations incorrectly downloading? Should I report this
issue to aptitude bugs as you suggest, I am unsure how to proceed.
Thanks for your time.
