Ok, somehow the problem seems to be solved. I had to reinstall debian for external reasons, but then apt-get complained about some missing dependency and didn't let me install fenics.
For other's reference, I solved installing fenics with aptitude, which all of a sudden seems to be smarter than apt-get in managing dependencies.
