I logged in via ssh instead so I could get an output and the install worked without a hitch...

(and freeipa-server package version) There was a that could case this behavior. Anyway, the installer files you are looking for are there: /var/lib/ipa/sysrestore/ # server backup files /var/lib/ipa-client/sysrestore/ # client backup files If you remove then, the installation will continue. However, I wouldn't recommend removing them manually as ipa-[server|client]-install --uninstall won't be able to return the machine to it's original configuration then. I would rather suggest using the server/client uninstaller again.
