The loop looks at nsds5BeginReplicaRefresh, nsds5replicaUpdateInProgress
and nsds5ReplicaLastInitStatus.

It loops looking for nsds5BeginReplicaRefresh. If there is no value it
prints "Update in progress, %d seconds elapsed". Once it gets a status,
the update is done, and it looks at nsds5ReplicaLastInitStatus. If it
isn't empty, doesn't include 'replica busy' or 'Total update succeeded'
then it looks to see if nsds5replicaUpdateInProgress is TRUE. If it is,
ir prints Update in progress yet not in progress and tries the loop again.

AFAICT this part of a replica install doesn't restart 389-ds.

/var/log/ipareplica-install.log may hold some details.
