Looks like a debconf problem.

Ok, Synaptic says in Swedish:
"E: foomatic-filters: underprocessen installerade post-installation-skript gav felkod 255"

Tried to reinstall debconf:
"E: debconf: underprocessen installerade post-installation-skript gav felkod 255
E: foomatic-filters: beroendeproblem - lämnar okonfigurerad"

Hesitating to purge purge the debconf package:

sudo apt-get purge debconf
