Woah... this is weird.
I have a Jaunty (9.04) machine. I tried upgrading it to Karmic (9.10),
and I got THIS in the middle of my upgrade:
Setting up cups-pdf (2.5.0-4) ...
* Reloading Common Unix Printing System: cupsd [fail]
Password for root on localhost?
Wow... an interactive password prompt during "apt-get dist-upgrade"!!
Sounds like a closely related issue.
