Why is this being removed?

[tas50]

This was a delivery local mode config which is still used by chef projects

What is actually being fixed here and what is the bug and what is being held onto and not released on solaris in the chef-client installation?

It seems like we're fairly randomly adding a move_opt_chef and then having three copy_opt_chefs added with no explanation of why they're necessary or what underlying bug is actually being worked around.

Hi @lamont-granquist, thank you for reviewing the PR

The real issue was that the chef-client installation at the time of updating through chef_client_cookbook in Solaris was getting corrupted because of /etc/chef folder being present at the time of installation for updated chef-client version which is fixing this issue for installing new version and I have used already defined mov_opt_chef and copy_opt_chef methods to copy & move /etc/chef.

So in this fix I moved /etc/chef directory to an /etc/chef.upgrade directory just as we move /opt/chef at the time of installation and moving it back to /etc/chef after the installation is done.

chef-client command were not working properly because the installation was not happening properly.
I have given below before and after fix of chef-client -v command when we are updating chef-client version through chef_client cookbook.

That doesn't look like the right fix. Nothing in /etc/chef should be causing /opt/chef/embedded/bin/ruby to throw a "bad interpreter" from the shell.
