Installed package is newer than candidate package after yum upgrade

[fletchowns]

Cookbook version

7.0.2

Chef-client version

12.20.3

Platform Details

Redhat 7.4 on AWS

Scenario:

1.12.1 was previously installed by nginx cookbook. A subsequent yum upgrade installed 1.12.2. Now converge is failing due to nginx cookbook trying to install 1.12.1 again.

Steps to Reproduce:

Use the cookbook to install 1.12.1, run a yum update && yum upgrade to install 1.12.2. Run converge again and it fails.

I tried setting override["nginx"]["version"] = "1.12.2" but it still failed trying to install 1.12.1. I'm not sure why it's setting version to 1.12.1-1.el7.ngx in the output below.

Expected Result:

Converge should not fail

Actual Result:

* yum_package[nginx] action install[2017-11-23T00:44:13+00:00] INFO: Processing yum_package[nginx] action install (nginx::package line 43)

Sounds similar to #441

Ugh, I forgot I had put in the edit_resource workaround for #441, no wonder it was still trying to install the older version! Closing this out.
