[Bug 1679184] [NEW] LVM configuration cannot be removed when volume groups with the same name are found during installation

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Installer version: 20101020ubuntu500

Kernel: 4.10.0-14

Description/Reproduction:

During installation, the installer finds LVM volume groups from a
previous installation.

Current LVM configuration:
 Unallocated physical volumes:
   * /dev/mapper/mpatha2                                  (21218MB)
                                                                            
 Volume groups:                                                       
   * rootVG                                               (21218MB)
     - Uses physical volume:         /dev/dasda2          (21315MB)
     - Uses physical volume:         /dev/mapper/mpathc1  (21470MB)
     - Uses physical volume:         [unknown]            (21470MB)
     - Uses physical volume:         [unknown]            (21470MB)
   * rootVG                                               (21470MB)
     - Uses physical volume:         /dev/dasda2          (21315MB)
     - Uses physical volume:         /dev/mapper/mpathc1  (21470MB)
     - Uses physical volume:         [unknown]            (21470MB)
     - Uses physical volume:         [unknown]            (21470MB)
   * rootvg                                               (42685MB)
     - Uses physical volume:         /dev/mapper/mpathb1  (21470MB)
     - Uses physical volume:         [unknown]            (214

When trying to remove that LVM using "Configure the Logical Volume
Manager", it is not possible to remove logical volumes. The error "The
logical volume swapLV on rootVG could not be deleted." is displayed. In
syslog, you see the following messages:

Apr  3 12:55:56 partman-lvm:   Multiple VGs found with the same name: skipping rootVG
Apr  3 12:55:56 partman-lvm:   Use --select vg_uuid=<uuid> in place of the VG name.

As you cannot use the suggested parameter in the installer, the system
cannot be installed without manually removing the LVM setup with another
shell.

Debug logs are attached
