[chef] RE: CHEF-Client installation

[WEINHAPL Andreas < >]

Hi Bryan, 

Thanks for doing this but in my case it won't work with the normal 
installation :( 

dbdump:~# apt-cache madison libjson-ruby1.8
libjson-ruby1.8 | 1.4.6-1opscode1 | http://apt.opscode.com lenny/main Packages
libjson-ruby1.8 | 1.1.2-1+lenny1 | http://debian.inode.at lenny/main Packages
libjson-ruby | 1.1.2-1+lenny1 | http://debian.inode.at lenny/main Sources

dbdump:~# apt-get install chef

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  chef: Depends: libjson-ruby1.8 (>= 1.4.6) but it is not going to be 
installed
        Depends: ohai (>= 0.5.8) but it is not going to be installed
        Depends: libchef-ruby1.8 (= 0.9.14+dfsg-1) but it is not going to be 
installed
E: Broken packages

So do you know when this problem will be resolved. We can't use backports for 
our environment, because if you are using this it will be the same to sell an 
old cake as a new one. It doesn't fell right for me. 
Regards

I had copied the backport of libjson-ruby1.8=1.4.6-1 I made for a
recent version of ubuntu to a number of ubuntu and debian releases to
save some time. I've uploaded libjson-ruby1.8 compiled for amd64 +
i386 on lenny (oldstable) to apt.opscode.com [1]. "apt-get install
chef" per the wiki [2] now works for me.
