I don't think anyone has used Chef on Oracle Linux.

What package manager are you expecting Chef to use?

There's no mapping for providers for Oracle linux in the platform hash [0]

You'll have to expliclity tell Chef which provider you'll want to use
for resources, or adjust the platform hash yourself. This is very
heavy stuff. I'd suggesting opening a ticket for Oracle support and
figuring out what you need to complete to make that happen?

https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/chef/lib/chef/platform.rb

In the mean time, you can use something like:

gem_package
yum_package
dpkg_package

And so on. Conversely, you can specify the provider in the package
definition itself:

package "foo" do
  provider Chef::Providers::Package::Yum
  action :upgrade
end
