I second @maxolasersquad's request. It's such a pity to find that a
solution was implemented so long ago but still lacking in the current
LTS release. This leaves FreeIPA (client install) broken in 20.04.

(The second fix is also highly anticipated since leaving the 'services'
clause in the config file makes sssd (?) spin up additional unnecessary
services that will always fail. These errors cause no harm though other
than lost time tracking down the cause of the failed services.)

If it helps, I can confirm that applying these patches do solve both
issues. Tested on updated Ubuntu 20.04.3 2021-11-05.

Title:
  ipa-client-install fails on restarting non-existing chronyd.service

Status in freeipa package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.10
  Package: freeipa-client 4.8.6-1ubuntu2

  Client install fails:

   * LANG=C /usr/sbin/ipa-client-install --domain cockpit.lan --realm COCKPIT.LAN --mkhomedir --enable-dns-updates --unattended --force-join --principal admin -W --force-ntpd
  Option --force-ntpd has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
  Discovery was successful!
  Client hostname: x0.cockpit.lan
  Realm: COCKPIT.LAN
  DNS Domain: cockpit.lan
  IPA Server: f0.cockpit.lan
  BaseDN: dc=cockpit,dc=lan
  Synchronizing time
  No SRV records of NTP servers found and no NTP server or pool address was provided.
  CalledProcessError(Command ['/bin/systemctl', 'restart', 'chronyd.service'] returned non-zero exit status 5: 'Failed to restart chronyd.service: Unit chronyd.service not found.\n')
  The ipa-client-install command failed. See /var/log/ipaclient-install.log for more information

  /var/log/ipaclient-install.log basically says the same,  just with a
  giant Traceback for CalledProcessError.

  freeipa-client could depend on chronyd, but IMHO it would be better to
  make this non-fatal. If one uses systemd-timesyncd (as we do by
  default in Ubuntu), that should be fine?
