Description of problem: When trying to partition the disk with disk-druid, anaconda says that onother partitioning tool has wrongly partitioned the disk, but it gives me the option of ignoring this error. I ignore it, but then I get the following error: +-------------+ Exception Occurred +-------------+ | | | An unhandled exception has occurred. This # | | is most likely a bug.
