[chef] Adding Yum Repos in a chef run

[Haselwanter Edmund < >]

Hi,

just run in a problem with adding a repo to yum and install a package in the 
same chef run

simplified version:

  if node[:platform] =~ /centos|redhat/i
    #not in default repos
    remote_file "/etc/yum.repos.d/RubyWorks.repo" do
      source "http://rubyworks.rubyforge.org/RubyWorks.repo";
      mode "0644"
      action :create_if_missing
    end   

  package "runit" do
    action :install 
  end

this fails in the first run

 [Thu, 20 Jan 2011 18:48:54 -0500] INFO: 
remote_file[/etc/yum.repos.d/RubyWorks.repo]: Creating 
/etc/yum.repos.d/RubyWorks.repo

but succeeds in the following runs
