Well, this error went away.  I now have a problem.  CUPS not working.  
Can not print.  I have printed since installing 9.10, but can not now. 

never mind.  I think if I run cupsd directly (maybe using sudo) I can 
get printing to work
    so you can stop here, unless you want to see how I got here


Menus:
System > Administration > printing calls up a gui program.  Clicking on 
servers  gives CUPS error message box and /There was an error during the 
CUPS operation: 'httpConnectionEncrypt failed'
/
Help > troubleshoot tells me that the CUPS print spooler does not appear 
to be running.  To correct this chose System 
->Administration->Services.   Unfortunately there is no such menu in 9.10

It would appear that a SPY from M$ has managed to insert himself into a 
management position at Ubuntu since this new version seems to be riddled 
with M$ type fubars.

I have tried various things, including downloading and installing 
cups-1.4.2.

configure and make ran.  make check ran and gave a report with NO 
failures except in the summary part

PASS: Printer 'Test1' correctly produced 55 page(s).

PASS: Printer 'Test2' correctly produced 23 page(s).

PASS: 137 requests logged.

PASS: CUPS-Get-Default not logged.

PASS: 0 emergency messages.

PASS: 0 alert messages.

PASS: 0 critical messages.

FAIL: 0 error messages, expected 18.

PASS: 0 warning messages.

PASS: 0 notice messages.

PASS: 2 info messages.

PASS: 5 debug messages.

PASS: 4 debug2 messages.

PASS: page_log formatted correctly.

never mind.  I think if I run cupsd directly (maybe using sudo) I can 
get printing to work
