When opening yast2-storage-ng program crashes, 
_Caller: /usr/share/YaST2/lib/y2partitioner/widgets/description_section/partition.rb:48:in `format'_
in rare cases crashes when a disk volume is selected.

all users of RU locale confirmed this error, as people wrote that a similar error occurs in the installer of the distribution at the stage of detecting disks, even with an EN locale.

And with French locale also

Comment 2 Ancor Gonzalez Sosa 2020-01-21 16:36:32 UTC

The error happens when trying to show the ID of a partition.

We recently unified the handling of IDs between libstorage-ng and yast2-storage-ng. In the past, the (internationalized) name of such IDs were maintained (duplicated) in both projects, but now they are always coming from libstorage-ng. See https://github.com/yast/yast-storage-ng/pull/1016

This seems related to that change. Maybe some inconsistency in the packages. Which versions of the following packages do you have in your system?

yast2-storage-ng
yast2-trans
libstorage-ng-ruby
libstorage-ng-lang
