Hehe things have come full circle now.  The recipe[apt] solution isn't bad, but it doesn't cover all cases (for more info check out the JIRA ticket).  I created this pull request with a solution to try to silence the issue by just automatically retrying, but I was not thinking about the broader picture.  All in all, I just want my Chef runs to stop failing when they need to run apt-get update.

How do you get to that situation? Are you updating cache on a fixed schedule and there's a window between packages being updated upstream and your cache update? Are you adding a new repo and not updating?
