Chef-solo Fails on client.pem

I updated to Chef 0.8.16 and chef-solo completely broke due to
client.pem. The issue is already reported as CHEF-1115.
http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-1115

Bootstrapping with bootstrap_server solved the issue. Running a server
defeats the purpose of chef-solo.

How is client.pem generated? The only pem generation I found was in
server_proxy which creates pem files in the certificates folder.

Is there a better work around?

The error is triggered by using the MySQL cookbook. I removed the
cookbook and the rest of the recipes completed without any .pem errors.

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/chef-0.8.16/bin/../lib/chef/rest/auth_credentials.rb:62:in
`load_signing_key': I cannot read /etc/chef/client.pem, which you told
me to use to sign requests! (Chef::Exceptions::PrivateKeyMissing)

Does the mysql::server recipe need to be updated to work on Chef-solo
without client.pem?

Yes. COOK-296 was reported about this issue. The latest github repo
and cookbooks site version contain the fix.
