Provisioning is broken

[ascheider]

System: macOS Mojave 10.14.5 Provisioning of the vagrant box does not work anymore. Output on vagrant up or vagrant provision:

can confirm on Ubuntu 18.04 and Vagrant version 2.2.5

[ascheider]

@Gugiman please try to change the line 15 in ansible/roles/common/tasks/main.yml from upgrade: full to upgrade: dist. It worked for me.

[mitelg]

@f0x7C0 could you confirm this issue and fix it please? :blush: :+1:

In my case the bento/ubuntu-18.04 box was missing updates and therefore the ansible installation inside the box fails. The apt update is performed after ansible installation when using ansible_local provisioning. Keep in mind, that the box is cached locally and not pulled everytime you perform vagrant destroy and vagrant up. There should be output after performing vagrant up that informs about and old version of the box.

Output: ==> default: A newer version of the box 'bento/ubuntu-18.04' for provider 'virtualbox' is ==> default: available! You currently have version '201812.27.0'. The latest is version ==> default: '201906.18.0'. Run vagrant box update to update.

After destroying and updating the box the issue was fixed for me and the provisioning worked again.

This is the error, that is causing the ansible installation to fail: installed libssl1.1:amd64 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 10

I don't understand why this was closed without a fix. It's kinda industry standard to fix the problem of provisioners running on outdated packages by doing a dist-upgrade pre-provision. I've attached a pull-request for this, otherwise your users could run into problems every day and be forced to redownload the whole linux image multiple times.

PS: Often the linux base images aren't up-to-date, even right now I've just downloaded the box and it has 53 updates open, so your users might even run into a situation where not even deleting and redownloading the base image would help without doing a pre-provision dist-upgrade.

[flohessling]

Thank you for your contribution, audaki! I've merged your pull-request and included the pre-provision update in the Vagrantfile.
