installing java using chef solo on ec2

Question

I am trying my first recipe with chef-solo - a simple recipe that is trying to install java before doing anything. I want to install Oracle version of java, but I have come across multiple failure messages. How do I fix this? Here's my configuration -

 sudo chef-solo -c solo.rb -j web.json

My solo.rb looks like this

cookbook_path "/home/ubuntu/chef-repo/cookbooks"

and web.json

{
    "java": {
        "jdk_version": "7",
        "java_home": "opt/java",
        "oracle" : {
            "accept_oracle_download_terms": true
        }
    },
    "run_list" :  [ "recipe[testapp]" ]
}

My testapp recipe default.rb

include_recipe "java::default"

I've specified java as dependency in metadata.rb. This is what I get when I run the above on a fresh ec2 node.

Answer 1

sudo dpkg --configure -a做到了。
