Each time I converge node resources changes

statedir changes from /usr/... to /var/ and visa versa

That would indicate that node['apache']['lib_dir'] is changing values. What platform is this? Are you using a wrapper or anything else, or just the apache2::default recipe?

I'm not seeing this using our test-kitchen ubuntu-1204 environment.

I'm using debian and wrapper cookbook (without touching attributes).
Looks like it is not attributes problem. Not sure cookbook expects symlinks:

root@S499A:/usr/sbin# ls a2* -lha --color
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    7 Jul 23 16:21 a2disconf -> a2enmod
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    7 Jul 23 16:21 a2dismod -> a2enmod
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    7 Jul 23 16:21 a2dissite -> a2enmod
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    7 Jul 23 16:21 a2enconf -> a2enmod

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9.7K Jul 23 16:21 a2query

Each script from template attempts to override the same file:

  * template[/usr/sbin/a2enconf] action create[2014-08-12T11:46:59+03:00] WARN: File /usr/sbin/a2enconf managed by template[/usr/sbin/a2enconf] is really a symlink. Managing the source file instead.

[2014-08-12T11:46:59+03:00] WARN: In a future Chef release, 'manage_symlink_source' will not be enabled by default

[drpebcak]

Ah interesting. Yeah it is probably not handling those symlinks correctly. Looking at Ubuntu, it seems like some of them are symlinks as well. I'm going to try to set force_unlink true and see how that goes.

fixed in master
