Well, Got it working! after some help, we discovered that python-urllib3 was the problem,
This one made it recover :
apt-get -m --reinstall install python python-minimal dh-python dpkg --configure -a
After that, those erros where gone, and Plex installe dlike a charm, so i guess this would answer for every problem like this, not only Plex.
Thanks for your time to read my problem!

Thats the Output of today. there at least is a error code, to bad its very general..
This is the output if i copy the same line in terminal

i found this link :
https://phoenixnap.com/kb/fix-sub-process-usr-bin-dpkg-returned-error-code-1
wich resulted in trying these options:

So that makes me think this is python working against me, but no clue how to fix it, if i want to remove it.
If i remove and reinstall python-pip, it also ends with errors
