Can't install client on scientific linux 7.3

[Niels Walet]

I seem to have some serios issues with ipa on sl 7.3; on installing on a client, the
install works through fine until it bombs on the following issue:
<long trace of ipa-client-install --password=' --domain  --realm --server
--hostname=xxxx --debug>
