Description: During installation onto a encrypted partition anaconda crashes with the above traceback. I do believe it is rather misleading, as gotoNext() shouldn't have been called. I do believe the problem is related to a discrepancy between encrypted block devices and real existing partitions. Steps to reproduce: 1. Take a system with existing partitions and lots of free space at the end of the disk: e.g. sda1 already existing, to be formatted as /boot. sda2 existing NTFS partition, sda3 /boot from another installation, sda4 extended, sda5 lvm from another installation of another linux. 2. Install with default values. 3. Select partitioning scheme "Use free space" 4. Check the Encryption toggle. 5. Check review layout. 6. Delete the newly created /boot partition on sda6 and assign sda1 to be used as the boot partition. 7. Observe that the encrypted pv has correctly changed from sda7 to sda6 8. Edit the lv details. Note that it's supposed to be installed onto crypt-sda7, the former name of the pv. After the crash, the anaconda logfile shows that createion of crypt sda7 is marked as false.
The real error here is hidden from a problem with exception handling, so it's not really easy to tell what's gone wrong. I've committed a fix to the exception handling part. After this makes it into a rawhide build, we can look at the real error and work that in a separate report.
