 Title: #5004: [Backport][ipa-4-8] Simplify and make more reliable the server and client
installation checks
Action: opened

PR body:
"""
This PR was opened manually because PR #4895 was pushed to master and backport to ipa-4-8
is required.

The merge conflict was due to 53d472b490ac7a14fc78516b448d4aa312b79b7f being only in
master. Fixing this was straightforward.
