Similar to bug 1220681: this is a bug with overlayfs when replacing a directory with a file in dpkg.

pitti, can you apply the workaround of bug 1220681 also to the CUPS package?

This bug was fixed in the package cups - 1.7.1-2git1

---------------
cups (1.7.1-2git1) trusty; urgency=medium

  Backport from Debian packaging git:
  * debian/libcups2-dev.preinst: Move aside a /usr/include/cups/i18n.h
    directory during upgrades (from wheezy/precise); this directory got
    replaced with a file, and triggers a bug in overlayfs when dist-upgrading
    schroots/containers/similar. This is a hackish workaround and can be
    dropped again in jessie+1/trusty+1. (LP: #1272285)
