Recently, Chef changed the way that packages can be discovered. This broke the original script. Since, Chef has released a library (`Mixlib::Install`) which provides the ability to look up versions of most of their projects. As that's in Ruby (and is quite big) that's been implemented as an API external to this. Now, we can fetch version information from the Boxes Metadata API, fetch and install the package.
