in the meantime you can install berk via chef-workstation package.

wget https://packages.chef.io/files/stable/chef-workstation/23.7.1042/ubuntu/22.04/chef-workstation_23.7.1042-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i chef-workstation_23.7.1042-1_amd64.deb

@gmahe are you able to reproduce this still? I'm in here trying to clean up a bit of berkshelf failures and wanted to know if I should see if it's breaking still
