I'm just the messenger here, you'll have to test your patches yourself. I help with Chef's IRC user support, and this was reported by an end-user that was confused at some community cookbooks not working. You can try running the chai::default recipe as that was the one reported to be failing, but I'll point out again that you are shipping the wrong version of Ohai. --Noah
