Public bug reported:

Brand new fresh install of FreeIPA on Ubuntu 19.10

This condition is not an issue when I build FreeIPA on RPM-based
distros, so it's localized to Ubuntu builds.

The web UI of FreeIPA displays broken icons by default, making it not
only "fugly" but also difficult to navigate and use properly.

After much debugging, I discovered that the pathnames of the package are
different on Ubuntu -vs- on RPM based distros...so the FreeIPA
application is searching for fontawesome code in the wrong location.

Here's the super simple fix...but IMHO it shouldn't require one to spend
a couple hours digging through web UI code and calls to have to sort out
why the application and distro package locations don't jive.

=====
cd /usr/share/fonts/truetype/
ln -s font-awesome fontawesome
=====

Perhaps this is a fontawesome package maintainer concern?  Why is it in
a different location on Ubuntu vs other distros? or why is FreeIPA built
to look in the wrong location for these libs?
