[Freeipa-users] "Purge" scripts?

[Robert L. Harris]

So twice now I've tried installing freeipa on an Ubuntu 16.04 system.
Both times I've gotten an error and followed the instructions to "fix it"
and they didn't work so I removed files ( with purge ), cleaned up
everything I could find related to freeipa, sssd and kerb but trying to run
it again gives either a different error or the same error with a different
process output indicating it's not 100% clean.

Is there a known list of paths, packages or files to make sure are
un-installed or wiped out to make the system 100% clean? Preferably for
Ubuntu.

Hello, could you be more specific about the errors?

It changes each time it seems. In a minute I'm going to do a completely
virgin install under a "script" session for Ubuntu 16.04 and 17.04 with and
with the PPAs then upload the scripts to pastebin so they can be looked at.

I think it is a misunderstanding. Removing the packages doesn't undo the
configuration. I think he needs to reinstall the packages and run
ipa-server-install --uninstall (though the ipa-upgrade post-install
command may blow up on reinstall).

"apt-get remove --purge <pkg>" or "dpkg -P <pkg>" should remove all
files. One a previous build I tried the --uninstall and got an error.
Right now I'm trying the PPA and 17.04 and getting a KRB error.

As I said, configuration is not erased on package removal, on purpose
(in Fedora anyway, I've never examined the debian packaging).

Without exact error messages and logs it will be very difficult to
diagnose the problems you're having.
