chef-client 16: undefined method `dpkg_autostart' at early stage of the cookbook

[michaelklishin]

My best guess is that what used to be built-in is now a separate cookbook that must be used explicitly. A pull request would be welcome.

Actually, the separate cookbook is already mentioned as a dependency: cf the depends 'dpkg_autostart' at https://github.com/rabbitmq/chef-cookbook/blob/v5.x/metadata.rb#L17

My guess is that the dpkg_autostart does not work with chef-client 16 (earlier, i used the chef-client 12, and I had no problem)

A pull request would be welcome.

I'll see what i can do

So, with further attempts today to make this work, I have no more the error. Made a lot of changes in my repo, so i don't know if an upgrade fixed the issue. I'll close this ticket
