xnox, a possible cause can be that when the old package is removed before the update, the shutdown is perhaps made with the old systemd service files (which do not contain the fix). So probably additional methods, like explicitly deactivating cups.path, or at least restarting systemd need to get performed. Strange is that this is not needed in Yakkety and Zesty.
