Hi,
I’m using chef 11.8.2 on ubuntu precise. I met a chef error when trying to install a private package using dpkg_package. The matter is that when the package is installed, the service is launched and this one launch a process in the backgrouond which writes on stdout and/or stderr which disturb dpkg_package. It seems that dpkg_package waits for more input cause of the first log written …
The other thing is that chef-solo (used with vagrant) doesn’t have this problem ! (I found a temporary workaround by making the auto-start fail until configuration which disables output to stdout/stderr is done )
