This has probably never come up as dbus-python is required by almost everything however on fresh install of a F21 cloud image i yum installed freeipa-client and ran ipa-client-install to get: [fedora@keystone ~]$ sudo ipa-client-install There was a problem importing one of the required Python modules. The error was: No module named dbus This was fixed by yum installing dbus-python. It would appear this package should be listed in the RPM requirements.
Good catch. We require dbus-python in freeipa-server package, but the code that uses Python was moved to other, client exposed package.
