For anyone that has this issue the omnibus installer chef_10.26.0-1.ubuntu.11.04_amd64.deb has the valid symlink for ohai.  Back to this version for now.

Tim,

 

Yes we want to move to 11 but there is a process. J  So for now we are on 10.28.0-1, or trying to be.

 

I just spun a blank 12.04 new instance in ec2 with nothing but a key pair tied to it, (no user data) and the omnibus installer does not create a symlink for ohai using this deb. https://opscode-omnibus-packages.s3.amazonaws.com/ubuntu/12.04/x86_64/chef_10.28.0-1.ubuntu.12.04_amd64.deb

 

Output…

:~# dpkg -i chef_10.28.0-1.ubuntu.12.04_amd64.deb

I will try 11 I bet that will work but we can’t move to it yet.  Looks like a bug in the installer.

Pete,

 

A large number of my 12.04 systems are running the 10.28.0 Omnibus package.  Ohai is installed with a symlink at /usr/bin/ohai to /opt/chef/bin/ohai.  These were fresh installs of the Omnibus Deb on base 12.04 systems.  Out of curiosity though why aren't you migrating to the Chef 11 Omnibus package?  I was mid way into a migration from gems to the Omnibus package when I realized I should just go straight to Chef 11.  The effort involved in updating cookbooks to Chef 11 was fairly minimal.

Ohai (or not in my case) –

 

Anyone using the Omnibus deb version 0.10.28 for Ubuntu 12.04?  On clean install it seems the ohai gem stub wrapper is not being generated in /opt/chef/bin nor is it getting a symlink from /usr/bin/ohai

 

Ohai work since if I by hand create a wrapper (eg cp /opt/chef/bin/chef-client /opt/chef/bin/ohai and update to point to the ohai gem)  I am able to use ohai from the bash prompt.  Is this not supported in omnibus anymore?

 

Quick history we are moving from the apt deb packages to the omnibus version so we can take advantage of the latest updates sooner.

 

Any help or direction would be great.
