[Freeipa-users] Freeipa 4.3.0 replica installation fails with DuplicateEntry: This entry already exists

[Nathan Peters]

This is another issue I'm not sure how to debug or solve in 4.3.0.  A failed replica installation left a replica with stuff in the tree, but not configured properly on the localhost.  I did ipa-server-install -uninstall as suggested by the installation program and it deleted the local copy of the data, but did not clean the tree.

Now all subsequent installations are failing with some duplicate entry error.

All packages are up to date so this is not the pki-ca 10.2.6-13 fix issue.  I've checked the whole tree for any references to the old copy of the master but I can't find them.

That error log is typically unhelpful as it doesn't tell me what entry or where it is looking or finding a duplicate or I would just go delete it myself.
