[DRE-maint] Bug#908826: vagrant/stable is incompatible with virtualbox/stretch-backports (now 5.2)

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Package: vagrant
Version: 1.9.1+dfsg-1+deb9u1
Severity: normal

Hi,

vagrant 1.9.1+dfsg-1+deb9u1 is now incompatible with virtualbox from
stretch-backports (version 5.2.18-dfsg-1~bpo9+1). It worked fine with
virtualbox 5.1.30-dfsg-1~bpo9+1.

vagrant from stretch-backports works fine with virtualbox from
stretch-backports.

When starting vagrant, I get:
$ vagrant up
No usable default provider could be found for your system.

Vagrant relies on interactions with 3rd party systems, known as
"providers", to provide Vagrant with resources to run development
environments. Examples are VirtualBox, VMware, Hyper-V.

The easiest solution to this message is to install VirtualBox, which
is available for free on all major platforms.

If you believe you already have a provider available, make sure it
is properly installed and configured. You can see more details about
why a particular provider isn't working by forcing usage with
`vagrant up --provider=PROVIDER`, which should give you a more specific
error message for that particular provider.

(while of course virtualbox is available, and works fine outside of
Vagrant)
