Doh, it says on the README.md that this cookbook hasn't been tested on 16.04. yet and truly the chef-server package isn't on the Ubuntu 16.04 branch yet: https://packages.chef.io/stable/ubuntu/16.04/

I guess the options here are either resolving to the 14.04 repo or downgrading the box?

16.04 is now supported - closing.
