It seems the correct course of action is right there.
"dpkg: considering removing python in favour of python2.3 ..."
For me, something like this worked:
# apt-get remove python
(or maybe it was "apt-get remove python2.3")
Which will remove a lot of packages (paste the list to a file before you
answer "Y" if you want to reinstall them after).
Take my advice with a grain of salt (it's not exact, this issue arose
for me about a week ago, and I don't remember for sure whether these are
the precise steps), but usually hunting for the conflicting package(s)
and removing it/them solves this sort of issue.
