Bug 1443931

Description of problem:
systemd aborts and freezes execution during installation or uninstallation of IPA. The error occurs during ipa-client-install enrolment of the IdM master. After the abort, the system becomes unusable, e.g. systemctl status fails with "Failed to read server status: Connection timed out", reboot fails with "Failed to open /dev/initctl: No such device or address".


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-4.5.0-7.el7.x86_64
systemd-219-37.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. run ipa-server-install
