[chef] Re: Re: Re: Re: chef-server 0.8.6 requires rubygems version >= 1.3.6?

Ohai,
As Joshua said, the issue is with merb 1.1.0, which we don't yet
support.  Unfortunately, Chef's gemspec only specifies that it
requires 'merb'[1] and does not specify any version constraints, so
when you 'gem install chef-server' (for example) rubygems will grab
the newest available version of merb. We are tracking the issue as
CHEF-1064[2], for which I have created a patch[3], so I believe the
next release of Chef will not have this problem.

In the meantime, you can fix the issue by installing merb 1.0.15. You
must also uninstall merb 1.1.0 if it is installed.

HTH,
Dan DeLeo

1) Merb is split up into lots of piecemeal gems. Chef specifically
requires merb-core, merb-assets, merb-helpers, merb-haml, and
merb-param-protection, all at version 1.0.15
