  The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
  Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!

  The output of the command prior to failing is outputted below:

  <p>If I manually do a $sudo apt-get update from inside the server, doing another run of chef-client install postgres without a problem. Any ideas on why the apt recipe is not running? (I also know it's not running because the timestamp file for apt-get is not created in ubuntu). Any help would be much appreciated.</p>
