Any updates here folks? Having to manually run installs for countless repositories because apt_repository isn't honouring my components value is very tedious.
We've removed the apt_update and apt_repository resources from this cookbook as they were merged into core chef. I'm going to close this issue out now. If you think it's still valid against a new chef-client release please open it up against the chef/chef repo so we can work on it where the code now resides.

I have no idea what the rationale behind this might be, but this does not work with, for example, the cinnamon repository for 14.04 LTS located at ppa:moorkai/cinnamon
I spent over an hour trying to figure out why the apt_repository resource would not honour the settings I was providing for components.
Ignoring and overriding user input seems like a bad idea in my opinion.
