Setting up catalog service consumers with `federate.py` fails

[alanking]

Setting up the catalog service providers works fine, but setting up catalog service consumers fails. Observed when using ubuntu-20.04-postgres-10.12 project:

Error encountered running setup_irods:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/lib/irods/scripts/setup_irods.py", line 515, in main

Actually, setting up catalog service consumers fails for stand_it_up.py as well. I have confirmed that 4.3.0 as released does not have this problem, so something must have moved in our setup that has not been reflected in the testing environment.

This is a blocker for testing for releases.

OR. Or. This commit is to blame: 107bd31412f9c00219bf2e1ffbd60dbe6a63d171

Daggumit.

Through an Extremely Manual git-bisect, the latest commit that I have confirmed to be working as far as setting up catalog service consumers is https://github.com/irods/irods/commit/cc7dacafe3060609a23612e3b606eb76fdd21aa3

So, it's not https://github.com/irods/irods_testing_environment/commit/107bd31412f9c00219bf2e1ffbd60dbe6a63d171

Phew

I have determined that this is an issue in iRODS, not the testing environment. Closing in favor of https://github.com/irods/irods/issues/6931
