Trouble with Plaso install

[greyfolded]

Hello - I'm new to Plaso and the Linux world in general and having some trouble getting plaso installed. I'm running a fresh copy of the Sift Workstation 3 Virtual Appliance in VMWare Workstation. I've tried following the steps in the guide but it differs from what I'm seeing immediately so I'm not sure what I'm missing.

To begin with, the guide mentions that the Gift Repo is installed by default in Sift 3 but when I run 

sudo apt-get install python-plaso plaso-tools

I receive a message: "E: Unable to locate package plaso-tools"

If I add the Gift Rep and perform an apt-get update, I can run the above command but I receive the following errors. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

sift seem to ship conflicting packages you'll have to uninstall first

Try:
sudo apt-get remove binplist pytsk3 python-dfvfs python-plaso && sudo
apt-get install python-plaso plaso-tools

Thanks for the reply. I followed those steps but still got the dpkg errors. I ended up resolving with the following:

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/python-binplist_0.1.5-2ppa1~trusty_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/python-pytsk3_20170802-1ppa1~trusty_amd64.deb

sudo apt-get -f install

Actually it's still not working.  I can run psteal but when I actually try to run log2timeline I get the following:
[FAILURE} pefile version:1.2.10-114 is too old, 1.2.10-139 or later required.
