Did you replace the old CUPS configuration files with the maintainer's
new versions when you upgraded? I think this is strongly recommended
because of the changes in format.

In any case, you need to fix your /etc/apt/sources.list. Something is
seriously broken if you cannot install the current version of the cupsys
package with apt(itude). Please post the output of the following three
commands:

grep '^deb ' /etc/apt/sources.list

apt-cache policy cupsys

aptitude -F "%p%V" search '~i~R^cups!~slibs' | sed 's/ \+/ = /'
