Last Vagrant releases still not totally compatible with old macOS

[kom177]

For macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra:

Debug output

$ vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Checking if box 'bento/ubuntu-22.04' version '202212.11.0' is up to date...
==> default: There was a problem while downloading the metadata for your box

.........etc

Expected behavior

No warning

Vagrant version

2.3.6-2.3.7

Host operating system

macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra

Guest operating system

Ubuntu 22.04

Steps to reproduce

1. Upgrade for 2.3.6-2.3.7

Network connection is fully operational. Rolling back to 2.3.0 (the very last working version) immediately restores functionality.

Hi there,

Would you please provide a gist of the debug output from vagrant up --debug

Thanks

[kom177]

Sure

Any ideas?

BTW: 'uninstall tool' for 2.3.7 version of Vagrant doesn't work on High Sierra too (terminal window doesn't open).

The method from the above link doesn't help. When I simply remove libiconv.2.dylib I get

==> default: dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libiconv.2.dylib
==> default:   Referenced from: /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/libxml2.2.dylib
==> default:   Reason: Incompatible library version: libxml2.2.dylib requires version 9.0.0 or later, but libiconv.2.dylib provides version 7.0.0

When I replace libiconv.2.dylib with version from 2.3.0 again I see

dyld: Symbol not found: _iconv
  Referenced from: /usr/lib/libcups.2.dylib
  Expected in: /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/libiconv.2.dylib
 in /usr/lib/libcups.2.dylib

after $ vagrant box outdated -f

Just find this three files inside /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/ directory:

• libiconv.2.dylib
• libxml2.2.dylib
• libxslt.1.dylib And remove them or rename to _....dylib

@mikenovikov, thanks a lot! Now it works and checks for updates. @chrisroberts, but it is still a hotfix, not a real solution.

This workaround provided by @mikenovikov works like a charm here, thanks!
