],
"php": {
	"install_method": "package",
	"version": "5.6.25",
	"fpm_package": "php5.6-fpm",
	"fpm_service": "php5.6-fpm",
	"fpm_socket": "/run/php/php5.6-fpm.sock",
	"fpm_pooldir": "/etc/php/5.6/fpm/pool.d",
	"fpm_default_conf": "/etc/php/5.6/fpm/pool.d/www.conf",
	"conf_dir": "/etc/php/5.6/cli",
	"ext_conf_dir": "/etc/php/5.6/mods-available",
	"enable_mod": "/usr/sbin/phpenmod",
	"disable_mod": "/usr/sbin/phpdismod",
	"curl": {
		"package": "php5.6-curl"
	},
	"gd": {
		"package": "php5.6-gd"
	},
	"ldap": {
		"package": "php5.6-ldap"
	},
	"pgsql": {
		"package": "php5.6-pgsql"
	},
	"sqlite3": {

	"packages": [
		"php5.6-common",
		"php5.6-dev",
		"php5.6-fpm",
		"php5.6-cli",
		"php-pear"
	]
},

Steps to Reproduce:

Run chef-solo

Expected Result:

Chef installed php5.6.25

Actual Result:

Chef installed last package in repo

Why not use version attribute for package install ( https://docs.chef.io/resource_package.html ) ?
Actually problem for newer cookbook.

Because each distro has wildly different support so we merely install latest - if you want a custom version installing from source is the best way or writing your own custom recipe to do the installation part.

I'm closing this out as a won't fix. The version attribute is for the source installs. As @cheeseplus mentioned this introduced a level of complexity due to distro mess that we just don't want to touch. If you need something to control particular package installs I'd suggest a simple cookbook that handles exactly what you need on just the distro you need.
