Well, yes, and no.  I have it set up for Kerberos, but I'm not actually
using it for anything at the moment.  I don't ever remotely administer
the cups server; I just SSH into it if I need to mess with the print
queues.

My logs don't go back far enough for me to see whether this message
appeared.

Yeah, that's it.  It looks like the issue here is that cups prompts to
use Basic authentication when there's no chance that will work.  So once
it stops doing that, the upgrade issue will go away automatically.
