Chef recipe error: Error Resolving Cookbooks for Run List

I have installed the following cookbooks via knife:

for cb in apt build-essential erlang java sysctl git ulimit yum yum-epel packagecloud riak curl ; do knife cookbook site install $cb; done;

And now when I run sudo chef-client --local-mode --runlist 'recipe[riak]' I get an error complaining about the git dependency. However, the riak cookbook contains "git": "~> 3.0",.

The git cookbook that's installed is this version:

$ cat /root/chef-repo/cookbooks/git/metadata.rb | grep version
version           '4.0.2'

Here is the actual error for the command:

$ sudo chef-client --local-mode --runlist 'recipe[riak]'
Starting Chef Client, version 11.18.0.rc.1
resolving cookbooks for run list: ["riak"]

Lastly here is the stacktrace if that's actually helpful to someone:

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Solution

  • The constraint "git": "~> 3.0" means that it wants a version >= 3.0 and less than 4.0.

    That is not satisfied by "4.0.2".
