The mapping of cookbook version object to cookbook content by checksum is 
stored in the db. Only the db is consulting during cookbook upload. So if the 
db is replicated and you upload cookbooks, you will end up missing cookbook 
content.

In Chef 11, checksums are deleted when no longer referenced by a cookbook 
version. So one workaround for now would be to delete all cookbook versions 
and then upload.
