This isn't really a problem with MandrakeUpdate (well, there could be
two schools of thought on this). The problem is that libcups wasn't
previously installed. This is because the update was based off a
version in unsupported which in turn was a 7.2 rebuild based off a
cooker RPM, which has "libified" everything. This will be corrected
tomorrow with "proper 7.2 packages" so this will not be an issue.
Sorry to everyone whom this affected... my test machine had the
unsupported RPMs installed (ie. libcups was already installed), so I
didn't catch this myself.
