Title:
  Chef gem installer fails on ubuntu 14.04

Status in cloud-init:
  Fix Committed
Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Running the "gem" version of the chef install fails on the latest
  Ubuntu server 14.04 LTS AMI (ami-fce3c696).

  Here is part of my user-data for cloud init:

  bootcmd:
    - apt-get update && apt-get upgrade cloud-init
    - apt-get install build-essential
    - apt-get install -q -y <%= find_in_map("SoftwarePropertiesPackage", ref("LCOSVersion"), "PackageName") %>
    - apt-add-repository -y ppa:brightbox/ruby-ng
    - echo "Updating package lists..."
    - apt-get update -qq
    - echo "Installing ruby..."
    - apt-get install -q -y ruby<%= find_in_map("RubyVersionToPackageInfo", ref("AppRubyVersion"), "Version") %>
    - apt-get install -q -y ruby<%= find_in_map("RubyVersionToPackageInfo", ref("AppRubyVersion"), "Version") %>-dev
    - update-alternatives --set ruby /usr/bin/ruby<%= find_in_map("RubyVersionToPackageInfo", ref("AppRubyVersion"), "Version") %>
    - update-alternatives --set gem /usr/bin/gem<%= find_in_map("RubyVersionToPackageInfo", ref("AppRubyVersion"), "Version") %>
    - echo "Updating rubygems to latest version..."
    - gem update --system --no-rdoc --no-ri
  chef:
    install_type: gems
    version: <%= ref("ChefVersion") %>
  .......

  Here is the output from cloud-init
