chef-solo from rubygem-chef-13.2.20 requires /var/chef exist in order to run,
but unfortunately installing the package didn't create the directory. This
results in a slightly cryptic error when trying to run chef-solo from the
package.

Creating /var/chef beforehand, then rerunning chef-solo allows it to run to
completion.
