[DRE-maint] Bug#1008541: vagrant: Cant create boxes running ssh 8.8

[Arnaud Patard (Rtp)]

Package: vagrant
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


It's not possible to start a VM on bullseye with this Vagrantfile:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "generic/alpine315"
end

It's stuck while trying the use SSH. generic/alpine310 is fine for instance.
After debugging, it turns out that it's due to ssh 8.8 running inside the guest.

It has been:
- fixed in ruby net-ssh:
  https://github.com/net-ssh/net-ssh/commit/a45f54fe1de434605af0b7195dd9a91bccd2cec5
- workarounded in vagrant with lib/vagrant/patches/net-ssh.rb

Doing a quick&dirty backport of sid vagrant seems to fix the issue.

I'm not sure which package should be fixed (rubygem-net-ssh or vagrant)
so bugging against vagrant since it's this package not working.

Thanks,
Arnaud
