Description Adam Williamson 2015-08-22 14:58:00 UTC 
Description of problem:
Booted the 2015-08-19 Workstation F23 nightly, installed anaconda 23.19 / blivet 1.12.1 update, started the install, went to INSTALLATION DESTINATION and chose to delete all existing partitions (on the guided path). Crashed on return to hub.

Version-Release number of selected component:
anaconda-core-23.19-1.fc23.x86_64

The following was filed automatically by anaconda:
anaconda 23.19-1 exception report

Comment 12 Vratislav Podzimek 2015-08-24 08:28:05 UTC 
I'm sorry, but I cannot reproduce the issue. I have a VM with an existing F23 installation - autopart, single disk, two partitions (/boot and an LVM PV). With F23 Alpha RC2 I do:

# dnf -y update anaconda python3-blivet && liveinst

and everything works as expected. Adam, could you please test this again and maybe provide some more information about the reproducer? Thanks!
Comment 13 Adam Williamson 2015-08-26 18:31:09 UTC 
Hmm, indeed tried again and it didn't happen. I don't recall the precise circumstances of the earlier failure though. Let's close for now and I can reopen if I manage to make it happen again.
