Thanks for following up. I'm closing this report due to your last
comment regarding that you've fixed if with an upgrade.

To answer your question about triggers the definition from the blueprint
is "A dpkg trigger is a facility that allows events caused by one
package but of interest to another package to be recorded and
aggregated, and processed later by the interested package. This feature
simplifies various registration and system-update tasks and reduces
duplication of processing. "

You can read more at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DpkgTriggers and
http://www.dpkg.org/dpkg/Triggers

In our case, what happened is that cups has been installed and
configured but triggers were not executed because the upgrade has been
interrupted. Then during the next run, the system found that cups was
already installed and configured and was waiting for triggers which
would never execute because  of the previous failure. This is a known
problem and the devs are working on it (it's probably already fixed in
Jaunty)
