Well, yes, and no. I have it set up for Kerberos, but I'm not actually using it for anything at the moment.

Yeah, that's it. It looks like the issue here is that cups prompts to use Basic authentication when there's no chance that will work. So once it stops doing that, the upgrade issue will go away automatically. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
