Bug Description

manual partitioning
create partion 1 set to be lvm

get told that we don't support lvm
go and change the partition 1's 'use' to be 'format' as 'ext3'.
now you cannot delete the lvm volume group or virtual volume.

Robert Collins:

I don't mark bugs with triage spam. The packages in Lucid (and Maverick for that matter) are updated. Asking reporter to check this is not spam, it's progress.
