Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu
better.
I am not able to reproduce this issue, as I was able to install both
python3-pip and python-pip on my Ubuntu 16.04 system. Based on the error
message (and that you have python-pip already installed) it seems to be
some mismatch in the packages it suggests when you attempt to install
python3-pip.
Good call on running `sudo apt update` first, that normally sorts out
mismatch issues. Could you please re-run that, and possibly install any
missing updates. If the problem persists, I would be interested in the
output of `apt policy python3-pip python-pip-whl` to see which package
versions it will attempt to find and install.
When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu-
bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this
functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.
