rpm_package, yum_package, package failing under Chef Habitat but works with Chef Infra Client

[Swampcritter]

Description

Currently our AWS automation environment uses Chef Habitat to install a series of 'base tools' to each of the Linux and Window instances we stand up. Just recently, we noticed that one of our 'tools' which requires the deployment of an RPM file is failing.

package 'NessusAgent' do
source "#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}/NessusAgent-7.4.3-es7.x86_64.rpm"
version '7.4.3-es7'
action :install
flush_cache [ :before ]
end

-AND-

package 'NessusAgent-7.4.3-es7.x86_64' do
source "#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}/NessusAgent-7.4.3-es7.x86_64.rpm"
action :install
flush_cache [ :before ]
end

HOWEVER, if I were to run the chef-client -r recipe[wabtec_nessus] cookbook above from the command line, the installation works flawlessly with either version of the recipe above.

For debugging purposes, I ran the rpm queryformat at the command line to see what it sees:

rpm -qp --queryformat '%{NAME} %{EPOCH} %{VERSION} %{RELEASE} %{ARCH}\n' NessusAgent-7.4.3-es7.x86_64.rpm
NessusAgent (none) 7.4.3 es7 x86_64

It seems that the %{EPOCH} is deeming the (none) as a null value, but since it cannot query against it, the rpm command fails.

Chef Version

It happens under both Chef Infa Client, version 15.9.17 and version 16.0.257

Platform Version

CentOS Linux, Version 7.x

Replication Case

Under Chef Habitat, when our wabtec_nessus cookbook is triggered, we get this message:

Caused by Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed: Expected process to exit with [0], but received '1'
---- Begin output of rpm -qp --queryformat '%{NAME} %{EPOCH} %{VERSION} %{RELEASE} %{ARCH}

STDOUT:
STDERR: rpm: unrecognized option: -

Client Output

chef-client -r recipe[wabtec_nessus] -- cookbook completes under command line.
