[Emanuele Rocca]

Source: vagrant
Version: 2.3.7+git20230731.5fc64cde+dfsg-4
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

Hi,

vagrant currently fails to build from source on amd64 and arm64 (and probably
other architectures) with the following error:

Failures:

  1) VagrantPlugins::CommandBox::Command::Update execute updating specific box download options are specified passes down download options
     Failure/Error:
       raise Errors::BoxMetadataDownloadError,
         message: e.extra_data[:message]
     
     Vagrant::Errors::BoxMetadataDownloadError:
       There was an error while downloading the metadata for this box.
       The error message is shown below:

       curl: option --cacert: is badly used here
       curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information
