Libarchive dependency breaks Chef v12

[phoolish]

Cookbook version

1.0.1

Chef-client version

12.22.5

Platform Details

Amazon Linux 2016.09

Scenario:

Trying to run elixir::default recipe.

Steps to Reproduce:

Add elixir::default to your run_list on a system running chef-client v12.

Expected Result:

I expect the recipe to install elixir and erlang on the system.

Actual Result:

---- Begin output of bundle install ----
STDOUT: Don't run Bundler as root. Bundler can ask for sudo if it is needed, and
installing your bundle as root will break this application for all non-root
users on this machine.

An error occurred while installing ffi-libarchive (0.4.1), and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that `gem install ffi-libarchive -v '0.4.1'` succeeds before bundling.
STDERR: 
---- End output of bundle install ----

This seems to happen because the latest version of libarchive cookbook was released with a gem dependency that is not compatible with the default version of Ruby embedded with Chef 12. Either bump the min chef version requirement or lock the libarchive dependency at v1.
