The problem seems to be, that Vagrant itsels doesn't update the package cache before provisioning. For virtualbox, vagrant per default tries to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions. This fails if the package cache wasn't updated in the meantime, as the referenced kernel package doesn't exist any longer. Also, isn't it that between point releases no packages are removed from the achives? Therefore it should be less likely that outdated cache causes errors, right? Cheers jonas
