--- Comment #1 from Michael Weghorn <m.wegh...@posteo.de> ---
While sfdisk automatically wipes old signatures in interactive mode, it does
not do so in non-interactive mode.

When run in interactive mode, i.e. from a terminal, sfdisk shows this warning:

    $ sudo sfdisk /dev/sda
    [...]
    The device contains 'iso9660' signature and it will be removed by a write
command. See sfdisk(8) man page and --wipe option for more details.
    [...]

However, when explicitly disabling wiping (or running in non-interactive mode,
as partitionmanager does), this warning is shown

    $ sudo sfdisk --wipe=never /dev/sda
    [....]
    The device contains 'iso9660' signature and it may remain on the device. It
is recommended to wipe the device with wipefs(8) or sfdisk --wipe, in order to
avoid possible collisions.
    [...]

and signatures are not wiped.
