Issue

Configuration of IPA client fails with the following error:

2018-05-02T15:14:34Z DEBUG The ipa-client-install command failed, exception: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/share/ipa/freeipa.template'
2018-05-02T15:14:34Z ERROR [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/share/ipa/freeipa.template'
2018-05-02T15:14:34Z ERROR The ipa-client-install command failed. See /var/log/ipaclient-install.log for more information

The file /usr/share/ipa/freeipa.template is required for client installation but is provided by freeipa-server-common package and may be missing on a system where only the client packages are installed.
This is a regression introduced with commit 792adebfabb456d154164387fb7e60acb30f4325 on the master branch.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. install ipa client packages (and not the server packages): dnf install freeipa-client
  2. configure the client with ipa-client-install

Actual behavior

ipa-client-install fails with the following message:

  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ipapython/install/common.py", line 65, in _install
    for unused in self._installer(self.parent):

Expected behavior

ipa-client-install should successfully exit.
