Hi list,

The following error started popping up after I started provisioning a new VM with the latest chef-cliet v. 11.4.4-1. It *did not* happen last time, when I used v.10.14.4, here is the stacktrace from the node:

I'm not sure why this is happening, could someone enlighten me? 

Thanks in advance,
