Description of problem:
The installer fails to re-install a system with an existing LVM thin pool, which is corrupted.
Such a problem can be simulated by the following steps: (The created disk image is attached)
[root@localhost ~]# parted -s /dev/vdd mklabel msdos
[root@localhost ~]# parted -s /dev/vdd mkpart primary 0% 25%
[root@localhost ~]# pvcreate /dev/vdd1
[root@localhost ~]# vgcreate testvg /dev/vdd1
[root@localhost ~]# lvcreate -L 100M -T testvg/testpool
[root@localhost ~]# vgchange -an testvg
[root@localhost ~]# vgcfgbackup -f /root/backup testvg
[root@localhost ~]#
- Now edit the backup file, change the transaction_id value for the testpool LV
[root@localhost ~]# vgcfgrestore -f /root/backup testvg --force
WARNING: Forced restore of Volume Group testvg with thin volumes.
Restored volume group testvg.
[root@localhost ~]#

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use the attached disk image
2. Let anaconda delete the partitions and create new ones
3. Begin the installation
Actual results:
