Dear Maintainer, for all Vagrant boxes on running vagrant up with vbguest additions, this error is found "Unable to locate package linux-headers-4.9.0-12-amd64". As far as I was able to debug, new kernel version 4.9.0-14 is available in repository and verison 4.9.0-12 is not available anymore in repository. Since linux headers are not available vboxfs mount fails. I think an update of all boxes for new kernel headers is needed. Best regards, Uros
Hi Uros Thanks for your interest for the Vagrant boxes. There are two ways you can solve this: - either you use the box debian/contrib-buster64 which comes with the guest additions preinstall, and you remove the vbguest plugin so that it does not try to reinstall the extensions - or you simply install the last version of linux-headers-amd64 in box you have apt install linux-headers-amd64 and restart the box Tell me if that works for you. Note that in the future (starting in the forthcoming Debian 11 - Bullseye) the vbguest plugin should be useless as the Linux Kernel has builtin support for the Virtual Box guest extensions.
Retitling and marking as wontfix, since we do not support the use of the vbguest plugin. Lucas
