In one of my chef recipes, i am trying to upgrade the nss package, like this.
include_recipe 'yum'
package 'nss' do
action :upgrade
end
include_recipe 'yum-epel'
I notice that the chef-client fails to converge with the below error.
ERROR: package[nss] (123AB_cookbook::default line 12) had an error: Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed: Expected process to exit with [0], but received '1'

But if i ssh to the server and performs a manual chef-client, the converging completes successfully.
What might be causing this issue?
yum repolist on the node shows intermittent unavailability. Below is the the console output (i have removed other repo data it returned in the below list)
