Packer template failing to download chef-client

[Fish Exterminator]

Hi,

I've been making a virtualbox packer build that downloads chef-client. whenever i try and run it, it gives me this message...

Build 'virtualbox-iso' errored: Error cleaning up chef node: Failed to cleanup node: Non-zero exit status. See output above for more info.

Command: sudo knife node delete packer-5b71d9b7-1cf2-6a56-e0e1-e7448a408b6e -y -c /tmp/packer-chef-client/knife.rb

==> Some builds didn't complete successfully and had errors:

--> virtualbox-iso: Error cleaning up chef node: Failed to cleanup node: Non-zero exit status. See output above for more info. 

any ideas?

Rerun with: PACKER_LOG=1 packer build template.json

And attach the output.

So then if you run with -on-error=ask and when it fails you jump into the VM and try to find out why running: sudo knife node delete packer-5b71e4e0-2b88-05c9-c671-cb430347017b -y -c /tmp/packer-chef-client/knife.rb

Fails

It gave me this message after I aborted without cleanup:

[Rickard von Essen]

Just let packer hang on the question and use the VM console to debug the problem.

How would you suggest debugging? I'm still kind of new to this, so i'm not sure where to start with debug.

[Fish Exterminator]

nvm with the debug question, I just ran the command it failed on in the vm, and it said something to the effect of the directory /tmp/packer-chef-client.pem, and it was unable to load my private key.
