Pinned Erlang fails to install from Bintray on Ubuntu

I'm using the erlang packages distributed by RabbitMQ on bintray. The Chef run is successful if I choose the latest version in that repo. If I choose an older Erlang release, the Chef run fails.

Cookbook Version: 5.8.0 OS Info: Ubuntu Xenial Chef Client: 14.10.9

Node configs

{
  'rabbitmq' => {
    'erlang' => {
      'enabled' => true,
      'version' => '1:21.3.3-1',
      'apt' => {
        'components' => ['erlang-21.x'],
      },
    },
    ...
}

Chef run error

I think the correct fix for this would be to prepend base_pkg string to the DEBIAN_PACKAGES constant in providers/erlang_package_from_bintray.rb, then get rid of the resources that interact with just base_pkg
