sudo rm -rf /var/chef/ssl       ; sudo mkdir -p /var/chef/ssl

for DEP in apt apt-chef chef-client     ; do curl -sL https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/${DEP}/download | sudo tar xzC /var/chef/cookbooks; done
for DEP in chef_handler chef-ingredient ; do curl -sL https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/${DEP}/download | sudo tar xzC /var/chef/cookbooks; done

Root issue: chef-ingredient restriction in this cookbook is set to ~> 1.1, but ~> excludes 2.x builds. Either bump to ~> 2.0.0 or remove pessimism

[Brian Menges]

... traced it further

[Seth Thomas]

The pin was created purposefully because 2.x breaks with the cookbook as exists. We will be looking at what it would take to support 2.x changes but at present letting people use 2.x would just mean everything breaks.

[jackkordas]

I was able to manually download and untar chef-ingredient 1.1.0 with knife cookbook site download chef-ingredient 1.1.0 ( then untar it in cookbooks) The chef-solo run to install then works.

[Tim Smith]

We are now using the latest chef-ingredient! Check the new release out.
