Looks like both packages want to call themselves "apiclient". Upstream googleapi has changed packagename to "googleapiclient" so as to avoid confusion, but have not had a new release since that change.
In my estimation both packages probably need to have their python package names changed especially since there is an separate apiclient project already registered on pypi (though it looks to be abandoned -- no changes in 3 years -- and not packaged for distros).
