Chef bomb with easy_install

Chef Infra (archive)
1

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

This is a regression in Chef 12.1.0. I've created an issue on github to
track this:

Thanks,
