This happened after I tried to use the Printers tool (system-config-printers) to automatically install an Epson printer driver. It added the Epson repository, started to install epson-inkjet-printer-201211w, then hung for several minutes. After a reboot, I found out that debhelper was improperly installed.
To work-around the broken package, I used 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall debhelper' followed by 'sudo apt-get remove debhelper'.
