Description of problem: Did automatic partitioning (deleting) with the first disk. ok. Then i decied that i would use the second disk, so i selected it too and did also automatic partitioning but changed the partition scheme and deleted, then i returned to the main hub but anaconda crashes.

I tried again the opposite (vdb then vda) and it also failed. Doing automatic partitioning (default scheme: lvm) by selecting a disk (vda) and then also trying to do automatic partitioning (changing scheme: btrfs) but with vdb only causes anaconda to crash. For both reclaim space, the action was always to delete.

This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Does this issue still occur on Fedora 20? Or preferably, could you test with Fedora 21? If the issue still occurs, please attach the new anaconda-tb file.
created F20 system on a VirtualBox with custom partitioning reused virtual disk and installed F21 with new custom partitioning installation of F20 an F21 worked
