[chef] CentOS specific version of kernel-devel install question

[Ivan Suftin < >]

Ohai Chefs!

CentOS package_resource question.

In one of my recipes I have:

package "kernel-devel-#{node['os_version']}”

This fails with: ERROR: Converge failed with error message 
yum_package[kernel-devel-2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64] (chs_sep::install_sep line 
22) had an error:
                    Chef::Exceptions::Package: No candidate version available 
for kernel-devel-2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64

However, yum info kernel-devel-2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64 shows it to be a valid 
package (and is already installed):

# yum info kernel-devel-2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64
