[SOLVED] libshadow-ruby1.8 removed in ubuntu 14.04

Issue

I've got chef cookbook that uses libshadow-ruby1.8 for password hashing. Kitchen test passes using ubuntu 12.04 but I'm getting this error on 14.04

ERROR: apt_package[libshadow-ruby1.8] (its-3D::sftp line 8) had an error: Chef::Exceptions::Package: No candidate version available for libshadow-ruby1.8

I'm wondering if the package got removed if so why.

Thanks

I asked the same question on the ubuntu answers and got a good response.
