Bug#437013: d-i doesn't properly understand LVM groups with active snapshot volumes
reassign 437013 partman-lvm
clone 437013 -1
reassign -1 libparted1.7-1 1.7.1-5.1
retitle -1 [D-I] Returns error "Unable to determine geometry of file/device" for LVM group with active snapshot volumes
block 437013 with -1
tags -1 d-i
thanks
