I'm using httpd(0.6.2) custom resource in my ubuntu 16.04 node. When I run chef-install i'm getting the below error.

Recipe: lamp::prep
  * apt_package[httpd24] action install
    * No candidate version available for httpd24

In Ubuntu, the Apache package in apt (unless you're using a custom repo) is apache2. Is this a third-party cookbook you're using for this? If so, it doesn't appear to be very aware of your environment.

I use httpd package from chef supermarket and pushed policyfile.lock.json to chef server.

Look up the apache2 cookbook: https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/apache2
