Looks exactly like what I just got trying to get chef-solo on ubuntu 9.10 -- did you find out what was wrong?

Nope. However, I ran "/etc/init.d/chef-solr restart" manually after I received the error and then restarted the chef-solo run which completed the installation. Issues I got after that can be read here:
