[chef] chef bomb with easy_install

[David Montgomery < >]

Hi,

Below and been going on for years with the use of chef.  Never understood but on occasion chef fails on easy install for random packages....but when I log into the sever and manually run from the command line easy_install for a given package it works without issue.

So...why?  This is a recipe that I have not changes for years.  Soon enough.things will work again but I am still no closer to resolving the issues.

I have tried retries 3 and retry_delay 30 with no improvements

Thanks
