Running Ubuntu 12.04.2 , Ruby 1.9.1 and installed Chef via rubygems. 

Created the /etc/chef/solo.rb and ~/chef.json files per the instructions, then ran the command:

chef-solo -c /etc/chef/solo.rb -j ~/chef.json -r http://s3.amazonaws.com/chef-solo/bootstrap-latest.tar.gz


The following error occurred:

NoMethodError: gem_package[chef-server-api] (chef-server::rubygems-install line 83) had an error: NoMethodError: undefined method `full_name' for nil:NilClass
