[chef] Easy install error - this should never happen

[David Montgomery < >]

I am getting  this error when trying to boot strap and ec2 ami.  This
error should never occur.  In fact I have seen random easy install
errors with web.by as well.  What is going on?  Its random.  I have
made no changes and has previously  worked.

easy_install_package "redis" do
  action :install
end
