MySQL cookbook fails on Ubuntu Lucid 10.04

The mysql::server recipe doesn’t work on 10.04. I cloned from the
cookbook repository and encountered errors.

WARN: Missing gem ‘mysql’

Is the MySQL cookbook working on 10.04 for anyone?

This is actually an issue with RubyGems 1.3.7. They changed the output
formatting of gem list, which Chef uses to determine what Gem versions
are available from the remote server to install.

I have tested that the mysql cookbook works on Ubuntu 10.04 with:

    • Ruby and Ruby1.8 from Ubuntu packages
    • RubygGems:
    • 1.3.6 installed from source
    • 1.3.5 installed from package
    • Chef 0.8.16 installed from RubyGems or Packages

Is there a ticket tracking this issue? I found CHEF-1168 but it's
marked as fixed in Chef 0.8.12.

Thanks.

Hi there,
I reopened CHEF-1168. The problem is that MySQL has different versions
available for different architectures:

mysql (2.8.1 ruby x86-mingw32 x86-mswin32, 2.7.3 mswin32)

The gems I looked at when originally solving this issue only have one
version for all architectures, for example:

nokogiri (1.4.1 ruby java x86-mingw32 x86-mswin32)

We'll have to redo the fix to take the multiple version by
architecture case into account.

I could have sworn I reported a bug for this last August, but
apparently all I did was post to the mailing list.
