laravel with vagrant and virtualbox - version 10 installed but 11 when "vagrant up"

Question

After reinstall vagrant(2.2.14), virtualbox(6.1.16) and installing tue box with the command found on the laravel website (ok for bash init.sh and the ssh-keygen), i have this :

$ vagrant box list
laravel/homestead (virtualbox, 10.1.1) 

When i try to launch this VM ("vagrant up" in the "~/Homestead" directory) i've got:

Bringing machine 'homestead' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> homestead: Box 'laravel/homestead' could not be found. Attempting to find and install...
    homestead: Box Provider: virtualbox

The box you're attempting to add has no available version that
matches the constraints you requested. Please double-check your
settings. Also verify that if you specified version constraints,
that the provider you wish to use is available for these constraints.

Box: laravel/homestead
Address: https://vagrantcloud.com/laravel/homestead
Constraints: >= 11.0
Available versions: 0.1.0, 0.1.1, 0.1.2, 0.1.3, 0.1.4, 0.1.5, 0.1.6, 0.1.7, 0.1.8, 0.1.9, 0.2.0, 0.2.1, 0.2.2, 0.2.4, 0.2.5, 0.2.6, 0.2.7, 0.3.0, 0.3.3, 0.4.0, 0.4.1, 0.4.2, 0.4.4, 0.5.0, 0.6.0, 0.6.1, 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.1.0, 2.0.0, 2.1.0, 2.2.0, 3.0.0, 3.1.0, 4.0.0, 5.0.1, 5.1.0, 5.2.0, 6.0.0, 6.1.0, 6.2.0, 6.3.0, 6.4.0, 7.0.0, 7.1.0, 7.2.1, 8.0.0.pre.alpha1, 8.0.0.pre.alpha2, 8.0.0.pre.alpha3, 8.0.0.pre.alpha4, 8.0.0.pre.beta, 8.0.0, 8.0.1, 8.1.0, 8.2.0, 8.2.1, 9.0.0, 9.0.1, 9.1.0, 9.1.1, 9.2.0, 9.3.0, 9.4.0, 9.5.0, 9.5.1, 9.6.0, 9.6.1, 9.7.2, 10.0.0, 10.1.0, 10.1.1

It is the second day i try to understand why "Constraints: >=11"... Some help?

Something else to notice maybe without importance. When i install the box it is redirecting to host: vagrantcloud-files-production.s3.amazonaws.com. It was not the same host when i installed it 1 year ago.

$ vagrant box add laravel/homestead
==> box: Loading metadata for box 'laravel/homestead'
    box: URL: https://vagrantcloud.com/laravel/homestead

Answer 1

\Homestead\scripts\homestead.rb

on line 21 i changed

unless settings.has_key?('SpeakFriendAndEnter')
    config.vm.box_version = settings['version'] ||= '>= 10.0'
end

Then up then ssh. It seems to be working fine.......... at the present time.

Answer 2

This is by design. I don't think it's mentioned anywhere in the documentation, so it is confusing, but the "box" Vagrant is referring to is a separate application from the homestead repo that you have cloned.
