If i comment out the last three cookbooks, I've no problem by running librarian-chef update however if there is any of these, it just crashes.

Any idea ? Thanks !

Hey,
just run into a similar problem.

• first add one of the gits and check if it works.
• if it works go on till the moment it breaks.

Look inside the not working cookbook inside metadata.rb if any cookbook is dependent and missing in your Cheffile config.
install it before checking out the not working cookbook.
should fix the problem.

had problems with an cookbook from a git repo because it was dependent on another - no real error came up.

Ditto. Happens to me too. If the dependencies in the repo's metadata.rb don't match yours, it'll hang/show error "Could not resolve the dependencies."

Should this line: git: "https://github.com/fnichol/chef-rbenv" be: git: "https://github.com/fnichol/chef-rbenv.git ?
