I'm getting the following error when installing the torquebox::server recipe:

Alright, I think I found the problem, but I'm not sure how to fix it. It looks like you're using runit from ironfan-pantry. OpsCode also has a cookbook called runit. By default, the version from OpsCode is being intsalled. At a minimum, the Torquebox chef cookbook documentation should be updated to specify the correct version of runit.

How did you solve this issue?

I installed the runit cookbook from https://github.com/infochimps-labs/ironfan-pantry/tree/master/cookbooks/runit and that worked.
