Resolved: “This module can only be run on a Raspberry Pi!”

I received a new Raspberry PI 2 and fired it up today. Upon running my first GPIO enabled program I got the following error:

“This module can only be run on a Raspberry Pi!”

To resolve, I just needed to update RPI.GPIO:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python-rpi.gpio python3-rpi.gpio
