Opsworks chef 11.10 and yum 5.0 conflict

Today after deploying our stack, we got this error. Is there a way to make opsworks use a lower version of yum?

Right now, we're using chef 11.10 and it's taking yum 5.0.0 by default, I tried to constrain metadata.rb to use yum 4.1.0, but I get this error too Could not satisfy version constraints for: yum

Solution

  • Support for chef 11 was removed with 4.0. Latest version which should work on chef 11 is 3.13.0.
