Verify uchiwa is not installed

[a13x212]

http.rb will download and install the package on every chef run. It should only try to install the package if it is not already installed. Probably want to use chef only_if

remote_file "#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}/#{pkg}" do
source url
end

package pkg do
options package_options
source "#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}/#{pkg}"
end

I'm not able to repro this. Can you include the debug log output and the chef-version/platform you are seeing this on. Here is what I get with Chef 12.0.3 on Ubuntu 14.04:

Recipe: uchiwa::http
  * remote_file[/var/chef/cache/uchiwa_0.5.1-1_amd64.deb] action create (up to date)
  * dpkg_package[uchiwa_0.5.1-1_amd64.deb] action install (up to date)
