RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
Anaconda fails with a traceback when a subset of multipath members is specified by the ignoredisk kickstart command:

ignoredisk --drives sda
# where sda and sdb are members of mpatha

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python3-blivet-3.2.2-6.el8
anaconda-33.16.3.21-1.el8

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare a kickstart file with the following partitioning:

ignoredisk --drives sda
clearpart --all --initlabel
autopart

2. Start a kickstart installation on a machine with a multipath disk (where sda is one of the mpath members)

Actual results:
Anaconda traceback.

Expected results:
Anaconda shows an error message, not a traceback.
