Not a valid version of Chef misleading error message on network connectivity issues

[szetheli]

Over the last couple of days, I've been getting the following error when installing vagrant chef files. 11.6.2 is a valid version, and as long as the network is working, and the server's its pulling from are working, everything installs fine. But if either the network or the servers aren't allowing a connection, the error message is very misleading as to the actual cause of failure.

There are errors in the configuration of this machine. Please fix
the following errors and try again:

vagrant-omnibus:

• '11.6.2' is not a valid version of Chef.

A list of valid versions can be found at: http://www.opscode.com/chef/install/

To be clear, I'm not sure the issue of connectivity is local to the network I'm trying to connect from or with the www.getchef.com domain. This issue is to address the error message that is reported.

+1, several people at my company (including myself) have encountered this now. I suspect it's due to a lack of retries in Gem::DependencyInstaller.find_gems_with_sources
