[chef] Re: Re: Chef-server 10.14 gem appears to be broken

The environment was a stock Precise setup without any changes.  I just used chef-solo to do a server install and everything but the server actually installed.  I've since backed out 10.14 and just used 10.12 so I don't have much information to give you

If I search the system for chef-server after doing a chef-solo install all I get is a bunch of broken links to the actual binary.  If I specify the 10.12.0 version of the gem it installs without any problems.

What's your ruby environment like? Are you using anything fancy like rvm/rbenv? Do you have rubygems installed from source? Is it installed more than once?

What version of 'chef-server-api' is installed? That is where the binary is (chef-server is just a meta-package).

$ gem contents chef-server-api | grep bin

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/chef-server-api-10.14.0/bin/chef-server
