[chef] RE: Re: Chef 0.10.10 & link resource error!

[Braden Wright < >]

I was able to install the latest RC (10.12.0.rc1) and that did resolve my 
problem!

Now I have to figure out how to automate this rollout, when I tried to use 
chef it didn't work b/c when chef-client start to run, it uses the version of 
the chef gem it has installed (0.10.10), so the chef-client run on my node 
still fails.  It will succeed the next time it runs

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More Detail 
I tried:

gem_package "chef" do
  options "--pre"
end

but that did not work, I was able to get it to install with:

bash "fix chef gem" do
  user "root"
  code "gem install chef --pre"
end

I just prefer keep it as clean as possible.  So if there is a better way let 
me know.  

(I would really like to have a recipe that specifies which version before 
anything else fires off that way I can use my environments and test before 
rolling out new versions of the chef gem to production, or easily roll back 
if needed)... just a thought.

Thanks,
Braden

Can you please try reproducing with the latest RC?

`gem install chef --pre`

You should get version 10.12.0.rc1
