Ohai chefs

I am getting the below error while installing apache2 package on CenOS 6.2; the yum info command returns the packate and its version; when I used package resource in my recipe to install; it fails to install apache with the below error.  
Has anyone see this, is there a bug?

Any pointers would be helpful!

Thanks  
Aniket

What is node['apache']['version'] set to?

As the error says, you have to specify the full version-release (e.g.  
2.2.15-15.el6)
