I was also able to reproduce the issue by installing master and replica,
then deleting the replica host entry and running the ipa-replica-install
again.

The patch works fine, I would just improve the following notice:

$ ipa-replica-install INFO_FILE
...
A replication agreement for this host already exists. It needs to be
removed.
    % ipa-replica-manage del vm-098.idm.lab.bos.redhat.com

... and add "--force" flag to the recommended command. Otherwise, user
will receive an error as obviously the replica is not alive anymore.
Maybe we could also suggest that this should be run on a master machine
so that users don't try to run it on a replica.
