Hi,

I don't think this is the correct approach. We are aiming to have idempotent installers, which means that running uninstall on a system without IPA installed should be a no-op. This is the current behavior, so your patch is actually moving us back.

The proper fix would be to *remove* the check from install (as opposed to adding it to uninstall), but this requires the install code to be idempotent, and we're not there yet.

I'm OK with making this a warning, but don't make it a fatal error and/or require --force.

    Hello Gabe,

    thank you for your patch!

    Please note that there might be a case where detection
    is_ipa_configured() is
    broken but the user still needs to run the uninstall process to
    clean it up.

    Could you amend the patch to respect --force option? In that case the
    detection should be skipped.

    Thank you for your time!
