Hello,
I just upgraded our 0.9.16 using the lucid-0.10 repo (“apt-get install
chef chef-server”), which seems to have worked great. However, when I
try to run chef-solr-installer per the upgrade instructions, it bombs
out with this error:
tar: /usr/lib/ruby/solr/solr-home.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
The /usr/lib/ruby/solr directory seems not to exist. What’s the best
path to creating what the upgrader needs to complete? Thank you in
advance.

Got a little further by manually downloading solr-home.tar.gz and
solr-jetty.tar.gz from the Chef Github repo and placing them in
/usr/lib/ruby/solr. Now chef-solr-installer completes but starting
chef.solr errors out with:
[Tue, 17 May 2011 18:02:56 +0000] INFO: Starting Solr with java
-Xmx256M -Xms256M -Dsolr.data.dir=/var/cache/chef/solr/data
-Dsolr.solr.home=/var/lib/chef/solr
-DSTART=/var/lib/chef/solr/solr-jetty/etc/start.config -jar
/var/lib/chef/solr/solr-jetty/start.jar
java.io.FileNotFoundException:
/var/lib/chef/solr/solr-jetty/etc/start.config (No such file or
directory)
Can I just use a default jetty start.config or is there a chef
specific one that has to be used?

The contents of solr-home.tar.gz are installed to /var/lib/chef/solr
as part of the debian package. You shouldn't need chef-solr-installer
for the debian packages. I've created a ticket to remove it. [1] Did
you try starting solr before using the solr installer?
I would run:
sudo dpkg --force-depends -P chef-solr
sudo apt-get install -f
This should recreate the links that the chef-solr package uses on
debian that were probably overwritten when you installed the archive.

That fixed it. Thank you. 
Perhaps a note also on
http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Upgrading+Chef+0.9.x+to+Chef+0.10.x
noting that you should skip the Solr upgrade step if installing from
debs.
Purging the solr.rb file so it was recreated also cleared it looking
for the jetty start.config file.

Can you update the wiki, please?
The jetty file is found via a link, I believe.

Done.

Actually the regenerated solr.rb clears the reference to start.config,
so that it is no longer passed to the java start options.
