    (try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace
    conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable
    packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

    How did you end up with Hadoop-related libraries on your IPA
    server? Did you install additional services and EPEL on your IPA
    server?

To gain access to the file system published by the multi-rack high availability file system at https://ceph.io, named 'cephfs' (a native fs akin to nfs in some ways) one must install ceph-common.  That package comes one per version of major ceph releases. That appears to play badly with freeipa packaging. I was hoping by waiting patiently the packagers would figure that out for us.  Dependency hell strikes again.

You are living a dangerous life, you are running an untested and unsupported configuration of FreeIPA. All our docs *strongly* advise against additional services on an IPA server, e.g. https://www.freeipa.org/page/Deployment_Recommendations#freeipa-server-exclusivity . Third party repositories with conflicting packages are even more problematic.

Thanks Christian.  Might you publish a list of all the packages in the repos that can't be installed on a freeipa box?  Can a freeipa system be an NFS client?  Which file systems used by multiple tens of thousands around the world should avoid freeipa?
