Getting a positive output line for dpkg -l | grep systemd-sysv would be confirmation. > _Is CUPS disabled somehow before you try to upgrade it?_ > > I haven't disabled or stopped it - it is always running AFAIK - > printing always works when I want it to > When I have finished the day's work I simply open a terminal and > sudo update, upgrade maybe dist-upgrade Please would you read the thread beginning at https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2014/08/msg01255.html Its third post has 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 12 not fully installed or removed. After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used. Setting up cups-daemon (1.7.5-1) ... Job for cups.service canceled. invoke-rc.d: initscript cups, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing package cups-daemon (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit which is sufficiently close to what you get to merit some further investigation. The issue above became bug #758914: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-systemd-maintainers/2014-August/003325.html All three mails from Simon McVittie deserve attention. I hope there is sufficient in them to allow you to determine whether your problem has the same or a similar cause.
