Bug 948369

Description of problem:

When one installs over a previous F19a system installed with default automatic partitioning (lvm swap,/ + standard partition /boot), and one does custom partitioning having changed the scheme to 'standar partitions' this issue happens.

In screenshot #1, one can se that 'device type' is grayed out in LVM and cannot be changed. (I should delete the entry, i think, if i want a standar partition for /).

But if i just 'reformat' it (aka, still being LVM and not switching to Standard Parititon), anaconda then crashes at the start of the installation process.
 
If it do not change the Partition Scheme (leaving LVM) and doing the same steps, the issue does not happen.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F19a TC4 (19.15)
 
How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:

0. Make sure the disk contains both LVM and a Standar Partition (previous default autopart:lvm F19a install)

1. Reach the Main Hub, leave defaults at the Welcome Screen

2. Set the Keyboard if needed (I used Spanish)

3. Leave default Software Selection (GNOME)

4. Enter Storage: Installation Destination

5. Select the disk (i have only one, sda)

6. In Installation Options Dialog, set the Partition Scheme to: Standard Partition

7. In Installation Options Dialog, enter Custom Partitioning

8. Expand the 'Fedora Linux 19...' (previous F19 installation)

9. '/boot' will be selected by default, check 'reformat' and set '/boot' as mount point and 'boot-fs' as Label. Update Settings.

10. Select 'Swap', check 'reformat' and set 'swap-fs' as Label. Update Settings.

11. Select 'Root', check 'reformat' and set '/' as mounbt point and 'root-fs' as Label. Update Settings.

12. Click 'Done' to return to the Main Hub

13. The Summary Of Changes will show that the previous LVM Root (/), will be a Standar Partition Root(/) now, since

i do changed the Partition Scheme. (But i did not change it manually, see screenshot, it is still shown as LVM).

14. Accept Changes, press 'Begin Installation' in the Main Hub.

15. Anaconda crashes 'Setting up the installation environment'

Actual results:
anaconda crashes at the start of the installation process, and touches the disk.
