Comment 4 for bug 557011

This bug was fixed in the package casper - 1.233

---------------
casper (1.233) lucid; urgency=low

  * Bring the network up while running preseed/early_command.
  * Fix use of debconf passthrough frontend; DEBCONF_READFD and
    DEBCONF_WRITEFD were backwards, and DEBIAN_HAS_FRONTEND and
    DEBCONF_REDIR needed to be unset or else confmodule scripts would end up
    trying to talk to closed file descriptors.
  * Run debconf-communicate with a read-only template database and separate
    config databases, and copy any changed values back to the master
    databases at the end. This allows us to use the noninteractive frontend
    rather than passthrough when running apt-get in preseed/early_command or
    dpkg to install driver updates, thereby ensuring that the template
    database is properly initialised (LP: #557011).
