[Bug 1389315] Re: vivid server installation fail during lvm partitioning "partman-lvm: lvcreate: unrecognized option '--wipesignatures'"

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

Are you still seeing these errors? It looks to me like lvcreate indeed
has the --wipesignatures option, so this may have been fixed since you
reported the bug.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Install utah:
     sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:utah/stable
     sudo apt-get update
     sudo apt-get install utah

  2. Download the iso and make it readable by 'utah'
  3. Run 
  "sudo -u utah -i run_utah_tests.py -i /path/to/the/iso/vivid-desktop-amd64.iso -p lp:ubuntu-test-cases/desktop/preseeds/encrypted_home.cfg lp:ubuntu-test-cases/desktop/runlists/encrypted_home.run -f /var/log/installer -x /etc/utah/bridged-network-vm.xml"

  The installation failure could be seen during the partitioning stage.
