[chef] Re: What does this berkshelf error mean?

[Seth Vargo < >]

Hi John,

Please note: Berkshelf 2 is no longer actively supported. I would recommend 
upgrading to Berkshelf 3 as soon as possible.

I would help if you including the commands you are running, your Berksfile, 
etc.

If you are depending on chef-sugar in a metadata location (or it's a 
transitive dependency), you need to put the git location FIRST in the 
berksfile. Otherwise, it will try to use the chef-sugar from the community 
source, not your scm location.
