I have resolved the deprecation issues mentioned here

https://docs.chef.io/deprecations_namespace_collisions.html

in the ibm_package and install_mgr resources.

i have also fixed the directory creation issue in install_mgr where the directories are created with the variable names instead with the value of the variables.

Please can you add me as a contributor to this project so that I can submit my pull request.

In "ibm_installmgr" resource you wrote the required directories in the form:
dirs = %w(ibm_root_dir extract_dir install_dir data_location)

The %w operator defines an array of strings, where the strings are the literals between the parenteses, it's as if you wrote:
dirs = ["ibm_root_dir", "extract_dir", "install_dir", "data_location"]
This leads to have the recipe to create in "/" directories named "ibm_root_dir", "extract_dir", etc.

I think you meant to do this:
dirs = [ibm_root_dir, extract_dir, install_dir, data_location]

The install manager is using service_user instead of service_group. This causes problems when not using the same user & group name.
