Vagrant up returning "Compressed image is corrupted"

Question

I'm trying to create a vagrant box using Ubuntu 14.04 32bit as a base.

The first VMDK was packaged and tested successfully. Then I realized it takes too long to provision the box with Latex (Tex Live). So I created a new package in the following manner:

1. Created "full clone" of the original VMDK (Checked "Reinitialize the MAC address of all network cards")
2. Installed Latex.
3. Shutdown and started packaging the clone.

Once I added the package to vagrant, I created a new vagrant box. But running it returned the following:

$ vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Importing base box 'ubuntu-latex'...
Progress: 10%There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.

Command: ["import", "/home/me/.vagrant.d/boxes/ubuntu-latex/0/virtualbox/box.ovf", "--vsys", "0", "--vmname", "Ubuntu-HL-Latex_1_1405303855841_84250", "--vsys", "0", "--unit", "11", "--disk", "/home/me/VirtualBox VMs/Ubuntu-HL-Latex_1_1405303855841_84250/box-disk2.vmdk"]

The vagrantfile was never changed after vagrant init was executed for both the original and latex boxes.

Would anyone have an idea on what's happening and how to fix this?

Answer 1

I had the same problem and I fixed it like that:

$vagrant box list

$vagrant box remove precise6

$vagrant up
