Tried to delete an existing /boot partition (ext4) and LV containing a Fedora install to reclaim space for a new install, using the guided dialog (not custom part). Package: anaconda-18.12 Architecture: x86_64 OS Release: Fedora release 18-Beta-TC2
Criterion is "The installer must be able to complete an installation using automatic partitioning to any sufficiently large target disk, whether unformatted, empty, or containing any kind of existing data" (Alpha).
for anyone playing along at home, this isn't fixed in 18.13/TC3, don't expect it to be.
For TC2 DVD; Work arround: Format the HD first with Disk Utility "disks" in gnome (MBR) -(eternally or from a live desktop CD) creating an Empty HD Select this HD in the anaconda spoke and click [Done] This triggers autoformat of the HD Install completes sucessfully (gnome) This triggers bug: Anaconda hangs when 'Configuring installed system' https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=862801 power off and reboot to complete install

Attempt of wiping of current linux partition. Package: anaconda-18.14 Architecture: x86_64 OS Release: Fedora release 18-Beta-TC3
After trying to reclaim space in the automatic partitioning mode I received this traceback. Package: anaconda-18.14 Architecture: x86_64 OS Release: Fedora release 18-Beta-TC3
I tried to remove all partitions Package: anaconda-18.12-1.fc18.i686 OS Release: Fedora release 18

tried to remove logical volume to make space Package: anaconda-18.16 Architecture: x86_64 OS Release: Fedora release 18-Beta-TC4
I tried now also with the F18b-smoke11 netinstall iso which I think has anaconda-18.18 and looks to me like this might now be fixed. :)
This should be fixed by 99ea40844d8a02d2c5ebff26003fdf41a9d58428, which was in anaconda-18.17-1
Discussed at the 2012-10-24 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-qa/2012-10-24/f18beta-blocker-review-5.2012-10-24-16.01.log.txt . OK. 18.19 went stable, so in theory, we can close this, but we should verify the fix first. Can anyone with a reliable reproducer for this check it? TC4 would still have the bug, so the method would be to find a config that reliably hits this bug with TC4, then try the same config with TC6. It should be fixed.
I have reproduced this issue on TC4. I have tried same configuration on TC6 (anaconda 18.19), no traceback, successful installation. Closing bug.
