I am getting "Invalid clear part type in doClearPartAction".

Entering the debugger shows:

The lines in my kickstart scripts have not changed:

clearpart --drives sda --initlabel
I tried:
#Partition clearing information
clearpart --drives=sda --initlabel
I made a change in pykickstart at some point to remove the defaults,
because QA wanted that. The fallout from that has been things like
this. You're not specifying an option for how much you want cleared
from the disk and anaconda's not setting a default, hence the error.
I've added the default back into anaconda so you won't have to specify
this. The default is the same as specifying --none, so if you want to
actually remove things from your disk then you will need to add that
option by hand.
I suppose s-c-kickstart needs a fix here too. Argh, code's starting to
diverge too much. Maybe it's time to rethink the defaults change.
I recall seeing the discussion about the defaults a while ago, and I am
willing to live within the new constraints. Is it a documentation error
now?
For instance, I have no idea what you mean by: "You're not specifying an
option for how much you want cleared from the disk ..."
I don't see any way to specify more than --drives sda (which does not work).
Is there another form of it?
--drives=sda1,sda2,sda3,sda4
??
