By mistake I've installed i686 freeipa-*-3.1.4-1.fc18.i686.rpm packages on my x86_64 Fedora 18.
Running ipa-server-install then failed with
[20/36]: restarting directory server ipa : CRITICAL Failed to restart the directory server (Command '/bin/systemctl restart dirsrv@RHTS-ENG-BOS-REDHAT-COM.service' returned non-zero exit status 1). See the installation log for details.
and all subsequent steps failing. In the log,
2013-05-10T11:02:41Z DEBUG stderr=Job for dirsrv@RHTS-ENG-BOS-REDHAT-COM.service failed. See 'systemctl status dirsrv@RHTS-ENG-BOS-REDHAT-COM.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details. 2013-05-10T11:02:41Z CRITICAL Failed to restart the directory server (Command '/bin/systemctl restart dirsrv@RHTS-ENG-BOS-REDHAT-COM.service' returned non-zero exit status 1).

seems interesting, with /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-REALM/errors having
[10/May/2013:07:02:40 -0400] - slapd stopped. [10/May/2013:07:02:41 -0400] - Netscape Portable Runtime error -5977: /usr/lib64/dirsrv/plugins/libipa_dns.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [10/May/2013:07:02:41 -0400] - Could not open library "/usr/lib64/dirsrv/plugins/libipa_dns.so" for plugin IPA DNS [10/May/2013:07:02:41 -0400] - Unable to load plugin "cn=IPA DNS,cn=plugins,cn=config"
Alexander B. suggests "we do check in freeipa installer in case internal DNS setup is asked but we check regardless machine arch that either of i386 or x86_64 ldap.so exists and if i386 ldap.so exists on x86_64 it passes through, configures dirsrv, and later dirsrv fails".
The issue is in ipaserver/install/dsinstance.py where we determine the server type based on the existence of directories.
We make other similar assumptions in other places too. certmonger.py, for example.
