Has anyone ever seen apt-get install errors when bootstrapping an ec2 node using knife, only to find the package installed successfully when logging in?  Prior to today this would happen very infrequently and now I'm seeing it happen regularly.  Same recipe, different package each time.

Any troubleshooting advice would be greatly appreciated.

Could be a timeout on the first attempt, followed up by a successful attempt the second time. You'll get slowdowns (throttling) on micro instances pretty regularly. I'm just guessing here. Throw up some output for us to see.
