right, it was expected that sooner or later someone used 389 on !x86 :/

the libarch patch should cover all the others too

Title:
  ipa-server-install: On non-x86, errors enabling compatibility plugin
  for dirsrv

Bug description:
  When executing ipa-server-install on a non-x86 architecture (here: ARMv7), the following error messages appear after having filled out the initial questionnaire:
  ...
  Configuring directory server (dirsrv). Estimated time: 1 minute
    [1/46]: creating directory server user
  ...
    [42/46]: enabling compatibility plugin

  The logfile written showed that the plugin path submitted is something like
  /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/...
  but should probably be
  /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/...
  according to the file list of the freeipa-server package. This library path is introduced in ipaserver/install/ldapupdate.py, where it seems that only i386 and x86_64 seem to be expected.

  As far as I could see, the upstream version only differentiates
  between /lib and /lib64, but the Ubuntu source package contains a
  patch "hack-libarch.diff" that introduces more fine-grained
  architecture names.

  The following patch served me well, but takes into account only this
  very architecture.
