With the php5 package not currently installed, this message is displayed for the package resource[1]:

[Mon, 02 Feb 2009 02:53:58 -0700] INFO: Upgrading package[php5] version from to 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.4

This could be more informative:

[Mon, 02 Feb 2009 02:53:58 -0700] INFO: Upgrading package[php5] version from uninstalled to 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.4

Especially if folks are doing log management, and checking when chef is installing new packages on the system, for example:

grep uninstalled /var/log/chef/client.log

[1] resource:
package "php5" do
action :upgrade
end
