Segmentation fault when using Ohai 7.2 with Chef 10.22 about ohai

[lamont-granquist]

Yeah that is never going to work. Chef 10.22 pulls in yajl-ruby which has its own yajl 1.x library and ffi-yajl pulls in yajl 2.x which has conflicting symbols in the c-library and you can't load both of those libraries into the same process. This can't be fixed. You can open a ticket to backport ffi-yajl to Chef 10.x, but that'll have to go into a >= 10.34.x release (and we are going to be dropping support for Chef 10.x when 12.x is released). If you are stuck on 10.22 then you will not be able to use ohai >= 7.2.0

Chef 10 also does not support Ohai 7. You are on such an old version of chef that the ohai version must be unbound. The current 10-stable release has a pin to ohai 6:

s.add_dependency "ohai", ">= 0.6.0", "< 7.0.0"

Thanks for the details.
