Can you provide the package related output from running chef with "-l
debug"? For example:

[Tue, 22 Feb 2011 17:31:02 +0000] DEBUG: Checking apt-cache policy for
libmysqlclient-dev
[Tue, 22 Feb 2011 17:31:02 +0000] DEBUG: Current version is 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.9
[Tue, 22 Feb 2011 17:31:02 +0000] DEBUG: Current version is 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.9

Note that due to CHEF-1276 [1] the second one is the Candidate version.
