ohai requires Ruby version >= 2.0.0.

I forked your repo to add Debian 7.8 support. I merely changed references in the config replacing 7.7 with 7.8. Everything seems to go swimmingly until...

veewee vbox build 'debian-7-dot-8' --workdir=/dev/shm/vagrant --force

If you need more info, please ask! :)

Oh, hrm, might this be a conflict with puppet's deps? Just a guess.

Thanks!

I would bet it has to do with https://github.com/jedi4ever/veewee/blob/master/templates/Debian-7.7.0-amd64-netboot/ruby.sh :

ohai requires Ruby version >= 2.0.0.

and as much I can find Debian 7 comes with ruby 1.8 and 1.9 you would need to:

• find other way to install ruby 2+ or
• install older chef
• change chef installation method

You can install Ruby 2.0 via my script at stackoverflow.com/questions/16222738/-/29584352#29584352

I had the same problem, but it solved without installing ruby2. I don't know exactly how, but what I did was:

• I enabled Virtualization in my BIOS settings (restart computer and press F2)

• prepared the omnibus Plugin for vagrant:

  vagrant plugin install vagrant-omnibus --verbose
  

• I installed the omnibus plugin for chef in my vagrant file:

  config.omnibus.chef_version = :latest
  

Now everything runs through fine, maybe it helps

@rubo77 make sure to open a pull request with a fix ... if you did not do it yet ;)

@mpapis you can do it, I don't use veewee, just came by here with a similar problem in another project and shared my result with you

have fun!
