Yeah, once I got it sorted out I was going to try to push any fixes upstream into Chef's omnibus creation code. It would be best if they created new omnibus installs when they created new versions, rather than make the pkgsrc maintainers always reverse engineer their changes on every new version of Chef.
My current guess is that the omnibus build chain changed between Ben's version and the current master to check that there are no leaked dependencies. I think some of it needs to be fixed to not explode on SmartOS—some of the failing dependencies are actually ok. I just haven't had time to continue working on this since the last commit in that repo.
