Apt updates are something that need to be managed by the consumer of the cookbook themselves. We end up with multiple cookbooks each trying to do apt-updates and it's a bit of a mess. There's an apt_update resource in Chef now. I'd recommend either putting that at the very beginning of some sort of base cookbook you use in your environment, or making sure apt::default is at the beginning of your base role.

OK, I got it. Thanks!
