version constraints keep breaking my berkshelf

[bixu]

Unable to satisfy constraints on package build-essential due to solution constraint (riak = 2.4.11). Solution constraints that may result in a constraint on build-essential

can we be less pessimistic about version constraints?

[hectcastro]

Can you please provide the steps and tools that produced this message so that I can reproduce locally?

Here's my working environment (using rbenv to manage rubies):

› berks --version
3.1.2

› chef-client --version
Chef: 11.12.4

› ruby --version
ruby 2.0.0p451 (2014-02-24 revision 45167) [x86_64-darwin13.2.0]

And here's my Berksfile:

› cat Berksfile

cookbook 'dynect'
cookbook 'chef-client'
cookbook 'sudo'

[hectcastro]

Constraint for build-essential relaxed in 170cdc9. @bixu, can you test v2.4.13?

[hectcastro]

Going to close this issue since I was not able to reproduce it on v2.4.13. Please reopen if it has not been resolved.
