I had overridden the attribute-
['erlang']['install_method']='esl' to
force_override['erlang']['install_method'] = 'package', and then its working fine.

We should look into what's going wrong, the versions packaged by most OS vendors are often quite old. That being said the upstream cookbook seems to be using a mirror that has not been updated in a while. I think we might want to raise an issue there. @cwjohnston any other insight? I just took a quick look and did not really run this to ground.

In my rabbitmq cookbook I specify this repo: https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/ubuntu, we might want to propose switching to https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/rpm/ rather than a github account that requires someone to push to (and are clearly not).
