Hi Jonathan,

I see the following in your DpkgTerminalLog which seems to indicate this is a duplicate of bug 292159. Bug 292159 was actually a bug in casper and should be fixed as of casper version 1.162. Please be sure you have this newer version installed. For now I'm marking this as a duplicate of bug 292159. Thanks.
