This command is not returning after 60s, and it’s not producing any output to 
explain why. If you expect that the command _should_ take longer than 60s, 
then you need to increase the timeout (you might have to edit the cookbook’s 
provider code for this). If the command is supposed to run in a much shorter 
time, then there’s probably a network issue where the packets are getting 
silently dropped (this is common behavior for firewalls, in order to make 
port scans slower/less reliable, but there’s other ways this behavior can 
occur also). Of course a network issue seems a lot less likely on localhost.
