Description of problem: The server had samba configured. When I install freeipa-server-4.6.90.pre2-3.fc28.x86_64 and configure IPA, the existing samba config in /etc/samba/smb.conf is removed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): freeipa-server-4.6.90.pre2-3.fc28.x86_64 How reproducible: Tried once. Steps to Reproduce: Install free-ipa rpm. Install by ipa-server-install I got problem with ipa-server-install with one step, so I performed ipa-server-install --uninstall. Re-run ipa-server-install. Actual results: /etc/samba/smb.conf was removed Expected results: smb.conf should be saved as backup instead of being removed. Additional info: I am not sure if the file is removed when I run ipa-server-install or ipa-server-install --uninstall.
Command `ipa-server-install --uninstall` should delete samba config file only when uninstalling the AD trust. The problem seems to be in the following lines, a flag variable is used to check if AD trust is installed: https://pagure.io/freeipa/blob/master/f/ipaserver/install/server/install.py#_49-53 ``` try: from ipaserver.install import adtrustinstance _server_trust_ad_installed = True except ImportError: _server_trust_ad_installed = False ``` `_server_trust_ad_installed` is always True, even when package `ipa-server-trust-ad` is not installed. So, the uninstaller is doing more than it is supposed to do.

Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
