[chef] Re: Re: Oddity when trying to pull for chef-solo

["Joshua J. Kugler" < >]

Thanks for your reply.

Attached is the contents of said file.

No, this is not a recipe we use on a regular basis, but this is also not 
something that just got added to our repo: it's been in there a long time, 
and 
this repo has worked on dozens of other machines.  And the error doesn't 
happen every time, so I am not quite sure how to go about pinning down the 
cause.

Thanks!
