I have noticed exactly the same lines in my upgrade log the first time
(sorry, the evidence was lost), but I also have additional symptoms (see
below). When I unchecked cupsys from the upgrade list the upgrade
finished without errors and only cupsys is left as an upgradable
package.

Trying to upgrade cupsys now fails with a GUI message:

"E: /var/cache/apt/archives/cupsys_1.3.2-1ubuntu4_i386.deb: trying to
overwrite `/usr/share/doc/libcupsys2/CREDITS.txt', which is also in
package libcupsys2"

In the log:
