[chef] Re: Re: chef client segment fault on lib/chef/mixin/command/unix.rb:190

Hi,

  I'm also getting this segmentation fault:

115.146.84.xxx [2012-12-04T11:01:18+11:00] INFO: Processing cookbook_file[/mnt/data/Microscopy/Biology/mosquito.tif] action create (/var/chef/cache/cookbooks/atom-dataset-provider/recipes/default.rb line 126)

115.146.84.xxx 

Sorry for the dumb question, but what's the correct way to upgrade Chef or Ruby? This server is built fresh from Ubuntu 12.04, then bootstrapped:

knife bootstrap -d ubuntu12.04-gems ....

So upgrading a component on the VM isn't that straightforward? (I assume from the output that the segfault is happening at the server end, not in the local chef client)

We worked around more of these segfaults in 0.10.10. Could you try
upgrading to at least that version?

A newer Chef (with the workaround) or a newer Ruby (with the fix)
should prevent these.
