I have exactly the same problem! Also with updated VMs which worked before...

Same here.

Same here with a fresh install of VB, Vagrant, and ChefDK. Has anyone been able to resolve it?

Possible fix. In this serverfault post someone recommends re-ordering the recipes in their cookbook. I tried editing the web_server.rb recipe and moved mod_php5 to after the php recipe. I needed to destroy and recreate the vagrant instance before this worked.

I also manually set the MySQL version in the Berksfile to get around the other issue that stopped install on MySQL. I also specified a version for PHP as well. However I don't think either of those fixed this particular issue.

Here is the git diff for the web_server.rb recipe.
