STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Ensure that the target disk has an existing partition on it
2. Run Calamares
3. For partitioning, choose to erase the disk
EXPECTED RESULTS
Installation proceeds normally.
ACTUAL RESULTS
Shortly after starting the install, an error dialog is created saying that the "installation failed" and that "the installer failed to create a partition table" with with `sfdisk` command (see attached).
NOTES
* Fails with BIOS or EFI.
* Succeeds with other types of partitioning, including manual.
* Succeeds if the disk does not have an existing partition on it.
WORKAROUND
Delete the partitions before starting the installer.
