The contents of solr-home.tar.gz are installed to /var/lib/chef/solr
as part of the debian package. You shouldn't need chef-solr-installer
for the debian packages. I've created a ticket to remove it. [1] Did
you try starting solr before using the solr installer?

I would run:

sudo dpkg --force-depends -P chef-solr
sudo apt-get install -f

This should recreate the links that the chef-solr package uses on
debian that were probably overwritten when you installed the archive.
