The first thing that stands out is that you're using Chef 11.8.2 which was end of lifed many years ago. If you upgrade to modern Chef (14) then the apt_update resource is built in to Chef. I highly recommend you get on at least a supported version as 11 or 12 are both End of Life.

im actually using chefdk

Based on [2018-09-15T16:30:40+00:00] INFO: *** Chef 11.8.2 *** somewhere in the mix you're still using an unsupported and very end of life chef-client. The ChefDK version you are using may not match the version being used on the node. Either way, a modern ChefDK (3) includes a similarly modern version of chef-client (14).
