I created a folder for vagrantVM, edited Vagrantfile to add solo recipes, created a cookbooks folder and cloned mysql, build-essential, openssl from [https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks](https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks) and then vagrant up but chef failed.

[https://gist.github.com/4039324](https://gist.github.com/4039324) Is this a known issue?

Ohai, Nilesh

When I have this kind of problem, first thing to test its simple:

- vagrant up without provision vm . ( comment out all chef references on  
Vagrantfile)
- run offending command WITHOUT run apt-get update first.
- If it fails, run apt-get update and fire up again.

This situation is common when package has been removed from repos, but your  
local cache have references to it.

You can include the 'apt' cookbook's default recipe in the run list to take  
care of that.

Or simply use 'vagrant up --no-provision'
