Title:
ipa-client-install fails on restarting non-existing chrony.service
Status in freeipa package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in freeipa package in Debian:
New
Bug description:
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 21.10
Package: freeipa-client 4.8.6-1ubuntu6
This is a bug that just doesn't want to die -- the package *really*
should grow an autopkgtest that checks if a basic ipa-client-install
actually works. It's very similar to bug 1890786 except that it now
fails on "chrony.service", not "chronyd.service":
# ipa-client-install --domain cockpit.lan --realm COCKPIT.LAN --principal
admin -W
This program will set up FreeIPA client.
Version 4.8.6
WARNING: conflicting time&date synchronization service 'ntp' will be
disabled in favor of chronyd
Discovery was successful!
Do you want to configure chrony with NTP server or pool address? [no]:
Client hostname: x0.cockpit.lan
Realm: COCKPIT.LAN
DNS Domain: cockpit.lan
IPA Server: f0.cockpit.lan
BaseDN: dc=cockpit,dc=lan
Continue to configure the system with these values? [no]: yes
Synchronizing time
No SRV records of NTP servers found and no NTP server or pool address was
provided.
Using default chrony configuration.
CalledProcessError(Command ['/bin/systemctl', 'restart', 'chrony.service']
returned non-zero exit status 5: 'Failed to restart chrony.service: Unit
chrony.service not found.\n')
The ipa-client-install command failed. See /var/log/ipaclient-install.log for
more information
This also happens if I say "yes" to the NTP question.
Now, the chrony package is indeed rather weird/broken:
| root@x0:~# find /etc/systemd -name '*chrony*' | xargs ls -l
| lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 24 05:54 /etc/systemd/system/chrony.service
-> /dev/null
| lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Mar 23 04:31 /etc/systemd/system/chronyd.service
-> /lib/systemd/system/chrony.service
| lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Mar 23 04:31
/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/chrony.service ->
/lib/systemd/system/chrony.service
| # systemctl status chrony chronyd
| Warning: The unit file, source configuration file or drop-ins of

| ○ chrony.service

| Active: inactive (dead)
|
| ○ chronyd.service
| Loaded: error (Reason: Unit chronyd.service failed to load properly,
please adjust/correct and reload service manager: File exists)
| Active: inactive (dead)
Again, this is unconfigured and out of the box -- the idea is that FreeIPA
sets up everything and configures NTP/chrony/etc. to listen to the FreeIPA
server.
Purging chrony doesn't really help, though:
| dpkg -P chrony
| # no '*chrony*' files in /etc any more
Exactly the same failure, and it still tries to configure chrony even though
it's not there any more:
| WARNING: conflicting time&date synchronization service 'ntp' will be
disabled in favor of chronyd
