vagrant-omnibus prevents most vagrant commands working while rubygems.org is having issues

[jmartelletti]

It appears that rubygems.org is currently having an issue which causes the attached exception and prevents most vagrant commands from completing successfully. The workaround is to disable your "config.omnibus.chef_version" setting temporarily.

$ vagrant reload

I was looking into this plugin because it can cache the chef install with vagrant-cachier. However if you have no internet connectivity, it makes all vagrant commands hang. It seems that currently this is not a solution to be able to use vagrant/chef offline...
