FATAL: NoMethodError: undefined method `python' for Chef Node

[d4rkd0s]

When running multinodes on Virtualbox my master1 node fails with a message that appears to be related to Chef and Python.

Using:

   Static hostname: ********
         Icon name: computer-laptop
           Chassis: laptop
        Machine ID: 5e4e**************************f6130
           Boot ID: 315b*******************************f799
  Operating System: Manjaro Linux
            Kernel: Linux 4.19.12-2-MANJARO
      Architecture: x86-64

Version's of software I'm using:

• vagrant 2.2.1
• virtualbox 5.2.22-1
• chef-dk 3.5.13-1

Vagrant plugins:

• vagrant-berkshelf (5.1.2, global)
• vagrant-cachier (1.2.1, global)
• vagrant-hosts (2.8.3, global)
• vagrant-omnibus (1.5.0, global)

Here is my cluster.yml (had to upload as .txt for some reason GitHub complains about .yml uploads)

When running multinodes on Virtualbox I get the following on master1:

Note: /var/chef/cache/chef-stacktrace.out did not exist on my host machine, and I've since destroyed the VMs.
