Public bug reported:
When executing ipa-server-install on a non-x86 architecture (here: ARMv7), the
following error messages appear after having filled out the initial
questionnaire:
...
Configuring directory server (dirsrv). Estimated time: 1 minute
[1/46]: creating directory server user

The logfile written showed that the plugin path submitted is something like
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/...
but should probably be
/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/...
according to the file list of the freeipa-server package. This library path is
introduced in ipaserver/install/ldapupdate.py, where it seems that only i386
and x86_64 seem to be expected.
As far as I could see, the upstream version only differentiates between
/lib and /lib64, but the Ubuntu source package contains a patch "hack-
libarch.diff" that introduces more fine-grained architecture names.
The following patch served me well, but takes into account only this
very architecture.
