Are these completely clean systems? It looks like you’re seeing a slightly 
different version of a problem with a similar cause, which is having knife 
plugins installed that have conflicting dependencies. Do you have any gems in 
`~/.chefdk/gem/ruby/2.1.0/gems/` If so, you might try removing them if you 
don’t need them, or updating them to a newer version if available. I checked 
the build and we definitely didn’t see any errors like this in the test phase 
before we published the packages.

Anyway, if `knife` and such work for you day-to-day, you don’t need to worry 
about the verify errors, as `verify` is mostly intended for testing the 
packages before we ship them.
