Hi,

I'm working on a chef Ruby Enterprise Cookbook that uses Brightbox apt repository in case that the machine that is going to be installed is ubuntu 8.04. The recipe goes like this:

First I add brightbox sources.list file and perform apt-get update
Then I declare the package libruby-1.8 with the following lines:

  package "libruby-1.8" do
    action :install
    action :upgrade
  end

But chef is not working as I expected and it stays on not installing ruby.

In the log there's the following information:

[Tue, 08 Dec 2009 21:21:19 -0500] INFO: Ran execute[apt-get update] successfully
[Tue, 08 Dec 2009 21:21:19 -0500] DEBUG: Processing package[libruby-1.8]

[Tue, 08 Dec 2009 21:21:19 -0500] DEBUG: Sending HTTP Request via PUT to /nodes/ubuntu_localdomain

Also apt-cache policy libruby1.8 shows:

libruby1.8:
  Installed: 1.8.6.111-2ubuntu1.3
  Candidate: 1.8.6.20090610-0bbox1

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1.8.6.111-2ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages

What am I missing?

Thanks.
