This is also showing up as an error with chef/ffi-libarchive loading.
ffi-libarchive could not be loaded, libarchive is probably not installed on system, archive_file will not be available
ffi is installed via a post-bundle-install.rb step in our tests, which does a
system("gem build #{gem_name}.gemspec") or raise "gem build failed"
system("gem install #{gem_name}*.gem --conservative --minimal-deps --no-document") or raise "gem install failed"which may be part of the issue.
