I have a funny feeling that there are important files in /var/log and/or /var/run and I'm up the creek without a paddle. And yes, once I have a working system again I'm going to set up a replica to help avoid this mess in the future.

Upgrader thinks that IPA is not installed. So are you sure you have backup of /var/lib/ipa ? regards, Martin </body> </html>
