** Description changed:
Binary package hint: casper
Version: 1.217
Within the last few iterations of casper there has been some speed
improvements. One of the particular improvements is to have a
persistent debconf-communicate process running. This causes a conflict
with being able to install debs via either an early command or drivers
update media.
Colin recommended this patch:

- Unfortunately that doesn't seem to do the trick. Exporting those
- variable individually in a test shell (via break=casper-bottom)
- followed by installing a deb via chroot /root dpkg -i blah.deb appears
- to work properly however.
