Fails to Download chef-server-core package on Ubuntu 14.04

[Sean Smith]

When attempting to execute a kitchen test default-ubuntu-1404, the VM fails to converge at apt-get -q -y install chef-server-core=12.0.4-1. Running the command by hand without "-q" shows that the package fails to download.

I'm getting the same issue, is it perhaps a bad package repo? When I run the command manually (sudo apt-get install chef-server-core) I get the following, looks like it's not able to connect to the repo? It'll sit there at 0% for at least 15mins doing nothing.
I've destroyed the machine and re-created and converged it with the same result.

I'm getting No candidate version available for chef-server-core error with this cookbook on 32 bit boxes:

root@chefserver:~# apt-get update && apt-get install chef-server-core
...
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package chef-server-core

Package source is installed correctly so it's probably a problem with repo:

root@chefserver:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/chef_stable_.list
deb https://packagecloud.io/chef/stable/ubuntu trusty main
deb-src https://packagecloud.io/chef/stable/ubuntu trusty main

I'm doing it with Vagrant on trusty32. Vagrantfile:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty32"
  config.vm.hostname = "chefserver"
  config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
    chef.json = {
      :chef => {
        :server_url => "http://localhost:4000",
        :webui_enabled => true,
      }
    }
    chef.add_recipe "chef-server"
  end
end

On trusty64 it works fine

Hello!

We don't build 32 bit packages for Chef Server, so that's why you're not seeing them in the Package Cloud repository.

The kinds of systems that meet the system requirements for Chef Server are generally 64 bit (16G memory, etc).

https://docs.chef.io/chef_system_requirements.html

I'm not able to find documentation about the architectures supported for Chef Server, but I'll follow-up internally to make this clear. If you have an absolute need to run Chef Server on a 32 bit machine, you'll need to create your own package.

Thank you for reporting this issue!
