The following packages will be upgraded:
libpython2.7 python2.7 python2.7-minimal
3 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B/5,438 kB of archives.

Unpacking replacement python2.7-minimal ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/python2.7-minimal_2.7.3-6+deb7u2_armhf.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_hashlib.so', which is also in package python2.7 2.7.3-6
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/python2.7-minimal_2.7.3-6+deb7u2_armhf.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Notice, that this is an issue with the official Raspbian Repository. However, the following fix takes care of it:

sudo sed -i '/_hashlib.so/d' /var/lib/dpkg/info/python2.7.list
sudo sed -i '/_ssl.so/d' /var/lib/dpkg/info/python2.7.list

Now continue your upgrade as did before.
