Hi Alex
First thanks for your interest for the Vagrant base boxes
Debian Wheezy is outside the scope of Debian and LTS releases
according to
https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
LTS supported finished in Mai 2018
time to upgrade your servers :)
remember debian supports inplace upgrade of servers ( no reinstall
necessary ) so it can be less hassle than expected
otherwise you would need to have a look at the vagrant-setup script
section in
https://salsa.debian.org/cloud-team/vagrant-boxes/blob/master/packer-virtualbox-vagrant/wheezy.json,
and update the script to select archive.debian.org as package repository
as this release is not supported by debian I can provide general
guidance but you'll have to do the changes yourself
I'll probably remove these non working boxes in a short while anyway (
they're not building anymore too)
Emmanuel
