Summary0004093: Rocky-linux 9.2 is unable to detect the resource on chef recipe , where as rhel 9 is capable of
DescriptionRocky-linux 9.2 is not intelligent enough to update the provider name when chef recipe is executed

The current recipe as package as resources , but rocky linux fails while execution
Chef::Exceptions::ProviderNotFound
    ----------------------------------
  Cannot find a provider for package[python-devel, python-pip] on rocky version 9.2

The same chef recipe works on Redhat 9 as shown below

Recipe: @recipe_files::/root/test.rb
  * dnf_package[python-devel, python-pip] action install
    - install version 0:3.9.16-1.el9_2.1.x86_64 of package python-devel
    - install version 0:21.2.3-6.el9.noarch of package python-pip

Running handlers:
Running handlers complete
Chef Infra Client finished, 1/1 resources updated in 15 seconds

Note: Redhat 9 updates the resource package to dnf_package and executes successfully.
We need same capability in Rockylinux 9, since all chef recipe as package resources and it needs effort to change the resource in every file

Both yum and dnf package manager are available in RockyLinux and Redhat
Steps To ReproduceSample recipe
cat test.rb
package [
  'python-devel',
  'python-pip',
] do
  action :install
end

when executed
chef-client -z test.rb

Thank you for the report.

It is unlikely this is an issue with Rocky Linux. According to this page, only 8 is supported as a "derived platform": https://docs.chef.io/platforms/#derived-platforms-1

Please report your issue to the Chef project.
