Whenever I run aptitude safe-upgrade, I get this output:

The following partially installed packages will be configured:

  cups gconf2 ufw update-manager 

No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.

0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.

Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.

How can I configure the four mentioned packages?

I tried dpkg-reconfigure gconf2 but that fails with

/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: gconf2 is broken or not fully installed
