Comment 7 Chris Lumens 2012-12-19 15:58:55 UTC 
I think this is a pykickstart bug, but I've not been able to reproduce it outside of anaconda.
Comment 8 Chris Lumens 2013-01-03 15:16:26 UTC 
Oh, I see the pykickstart side.  There may potentially also be an anaconda part to this, given your step #5.

Bug 929119 prevents from verification of this bug, setting bug dependency accordingly.
Comment 11 Jan Stodola 2013-07-02 09:06:12 UTC 
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -q pykickstart
pykickstart-1.99.32-1.fc19.noarch
[root@localhost ~]# ksvalidator anaconda-ks.cfg
[root@localhost ~]# echo $?
0
[root@localhost ~]# grep autopart anaconda-ks.cfg 
autopart --type=lvm
[root@localhost ~]#

Moving to VERIFIED.

Comment 17 Fedora End Of Life 2013-12-21 15:52:46 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '18'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be 
able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
