Package: cups Version: 1.7.5-11+deb8u1 When doing an installation of the latest cups package, when PPDs can be updated, you are prompted for root password on localhost. You can hit enter to by pass, and this is confirmed to break even when running as root. Unfortunately this breaks unattended upgrades.
