kitchen converge failed on ubuntu 18.04

When I run "kitchen converge" kitchen I can't install chef and the following output comes out

but the installation works if I put platform ubuntu 14.04. Some idea? I am working on windows 10 home

i have no issue with ubuntu/bionic64 version 20200604.0.0.

i suggest you to update the vagrant box that you are using. you can do that by listing the boxes

vagrant box list

then note the name of the box that you like to update, for instance ubuntu/bionic64, and update it

vagrant box update --box ubuntu/bionic64

once done, try kitchen converge again.

if you wish to use a different vagrant box (i use ubuntu official box), modify your kitchen file as follows

driver:
  box: 'ubuntu/bionic64'
