* Restore old fallback code in case /cdrom/casper/filesystem.size doesn't

* Fix some more uses of deprecated python-apt APIs.

This happens here, too, if my ISP's name redirect service is enabled.

Disabling that makes the problem go away!
So the bug is that the installer is getting fooled by the DNS server's fake

The problem originally reported here--or a very similar problem--still
exists in the latest Oneiric daily-lives. Primarily since this bug seems
to have been used to fix the related but different problem of duplicate
computer names being an error rather than a warning during installation,
and
Well, the network name issue doesn't block the install anymore. But it
still wrongly reports that the network name exists already.
Worse: with the daily build of 20-4, Ubiquity apparently doesn't
recognize the hard disk anymore, so it hangs in the slide show: no

From the changelog above:
Make the 'name already exists on the network' warning message not block the
user from moving forward
This doesn't sound like a complete fix. It is still nagging me with this
message with todays iso as long as I have a network connection active.

I'm quite sure that there were no other computers on the network with
that name. As a matter of fact, it was my home network and all of my
other computers have different names. And they were all switched off at
