[chef] Re: Chef-solo 0.8.8 seg faults on ubuntu 9.10 64 bit

[Daniel DeLeo < >]

Ohai!

Unfortunately, the patchlevel of ruby 1.8.7 shipped with Ubuntu 9.10
has some serious bugs, including the one you've observed. We are
tracking the issue on our issue tracker:

http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-530

At the bottom of that page are instructions for enabling proposed
packages in ubuntu, which will allow you to install ruby
1.8.7.174-1ubuntu1 which contains patches for these bugs.

HTH,
Dan DeLeo
