Chef - Recipe package fails to find candidate version - jenkins

Question

I am installing and configuring a very basic Jenkins installation using Chef. When i attempt to run the following recipe:
include_recipe "apt::default"
apt_repository "jenkins" do
uri "http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian"
key "http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian/jenkins-ci.org"
components ["binary/"]
action :add
end
package "jenkins" do
version '2.62'
end
service "jenkins" do
supports [:stop, :start, :restart]
action [:start, :enable]
end
I receive the following errors (displayed in the terminal):
192.168.9.207 [2017-05-25T10:50:58-04:00] ERROR: Running exception handlers

The error explains that there is no candidate version available for Jenkins. After the run fails, if I run sudo apt-get update on the managed node I receive the following error:

I am fairly new to Chef. This error appears to be related to retrieving a Jenkins package, however I am not sure how to remedy this error. Please let me know if additional information is required to troubleshoot this issue.
Thank you to everybody in advance for any guidance you are able to provide. I have searched through the Chef documentation but haven't seen much aside from specifying the package version: https://docs.chef.io/resource_package.html.

Answer 1

Specify distribution 'binary/' instead of components 'binary/'. This will fix the 404s that you get because of trusty/binary/.
At least, this is what I see from the "official" Jenkins cookbook, which I btw. suggest to use.
EDIT: So the result would be:
apt_repository "jenkins" do
uri "http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian"
key "http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian/jenkins-ci.org"
distribution "binary/"
end
