The attribute files of all cookbooks in the run list and their
dependencies get loaded during the converge phase.  What is interesting
here is that a breaking change for Chef 11 was that chef-solo won't be
able  to include_recipe unless you've also specified "depends" in your
metadata. Thus, I believe this should be working correctly.

If you use

    include_attribute "yum::epel"

in your default attribute file for the connector cookbook, does that
resolve the issue?

Steven
