Don't worry about this during the install from the repository. I also got that installing on Ubuntu recently. Running ipa-server-install later will set up the missing data and pki-tomcat will start fine. At the point apt is trying to start the service it can't start cleanly. The package configure probably shouldn't be attempting to start it.
