Installing Python 3.1.2 from source, how do you resolve the sqlite3-dev dependency?

Running ubuntu 9.04 "jaunty".

When I run make I get the following error:

    Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these
modules were not found:
    _sqlite3


So the easy solution is to just install the missing dependency using
apt-get, "sudo apt-get -f install libsqlite3-dev" but I get the
following error:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
      libsqlite3-dev: Depends: libsqlite3-0 (= 3.6.10-1) but
3.6.10-1ubuntu0.2 is to be installed
    E: Broken packages

I tried uninstalling "libsqlite3-0" but synaptic said many things
needed it (50+).

So now I am stuck. I can't install the missing dependency. And
therefore I can not install python 3.1.2.

**Any ideas on how to fix the missing libsqlite3-dev dependency?**
