Old description:

> sage: Partitions(5,min_slope=1).list()
> [[5], [2, 4]]

New description:

 The following bug was reported by an humanoid:

 {{{
 sage: Partitions(5, min_slope=1).list()
 ValueError: [2, 4] is not a valid partition
 }}}

 Even worse (since silent):

 {{{
 sage: Partitions(5, min_slope=2).list()
 [[5]]
 }}}

Comment:

 I was very puzzled when i saw this ticket, since my Turing tests were not
 able to conclude (unless we just reached the singularity). I propose to
 reopen the ticket since the report is correct.

 By the way, i am not sure the following is a correct behaviour:

 {{{
 sage: P = Partitions(5, min_slope=2)
 sage: Q = Partitions(5)
 sage: Q[0]
 [5]
 sage: Q[0] in P
 False
 }}}
