Public bug reported: When trying to bring up a local vagrant box using the official vagrant ubuntu/xenial64 image, the process fails with the following error:
$ vagrant up Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider... ==> default: Importing base box 'ubuntu/xenial64'... ==> default: Matching MAC address for NAT networking... ==> default: Checking if box 'ubuntu/xenial64' is up to date... ==> default: Setting the name of the VM: ubuntu-xenial-16.04-cloudimg ==> default: Clearing any previously set network interfaces... ==> default: Preparing network interfaces based on configuration... default: Adapter 1: nat default: Adapter 2: hostonly ==> default: Forwarding ports... default: 80 (guest) => 8080 (host) (adapter 1) default: 22 (guest) => 2222 (host) (adapter 1) ==> default: Running 'pre-boot' VM customizations... ==> default: Booting VM... ==> default: Waiting for machine to boot.

Disconnecting and reconnecting using new SSH key... ==> default: Machine booted and ready! ==> default: Checking for guest additions in VM... ==> default: Configuring and enabling network interfaces... The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status. Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed! /sbin/ifdown eth1 2> /dev/null Stdout from the command: Stderr from the command: sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu-xenial mesg: ttyname failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device The "unable to resolve hostname" and "ttyname" problems can be fixed through simple modification of a couple of files. However, because the default image doesn't include those, vagrant is unable to bring up a box properly.
