Thanks, it didn't handle the case in ipa-replica-install, now it should
catch the exception and return None (and the caller would react upon
getting None for the IP address).

In krbinstance.py it would still raise an exception, but I think that is
OK during instance creation (we surely don't want to print anything).
The user would see the error string, anyway..
