Gave up on freeipa and Ubuntu 17.10. Re-installed with 16.04 and some base packages which does include freeipa-client. When I do an apt-get install on freeipa-server it runs along happily until I find this:
. ... Setting up pki-server (10.2.6+git20160317-1) ... Job for pki-tomcatd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
