Cannot install plugin on Ubuntu 16.04 with vagrant 1.9.0

[dsyer]

I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04, and I grabbed the latest vagrant (appears to be 1.9.0) from the install page. Can't install AWS plugin:

$ vagrant plugin install --verbose vagrant-aws

Also doesn't work with the vagrant package that comes with Ubuntu 16.04 (version 1.8.1):

$ vagrant plugin install --verbose vagrant-aws
Installing the 'vagrant-aws' plugin. This can take a few minutes...
Warning: this Gemfile contains multiple primary sources. Using `source` more than once without a block is a security risk, and may result in installing unexpected gems.

Am I doing something wrong here?

UPDATE: that one is a known issue (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36811863/cant-install-vagrant-plugins-in-ubuntu-16-04/36991648#36991648).

It looks like ssl certificate verification is failing when the embedded gem binary tries to contact rubygems.org. I followed this and was able to get a new .pem file in place that fixed the verification failures, but I'm still not able to get it to install (it might be missing pkg-config or libiconv headers, or I don't have the path set up correctly)

@dsyer I'm having this exact same issue on macOS sierra, with vagrant 1.9.0.

[jonatron]

While it's being fixed: https://releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant/1.8.7/

[compuguy]

You may want to install vagrant 1.8.6 instead. There are issues with 1.8.7.

[riebling]

Having the same problem here. Very frustrating if you assume that getting the latest version will get you the best-working version

/opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/dependency.rb:315:in `to_specs': Could not find 'fog-xml' (>= 0) among 45 total gem(s) (Gem::LoadError)

Even when I put the fog-xml gem where Vagrant appears to be looking, it STILL can't find it. :-/

[ahawkins]

Confirmed broken on macOS sierra also.

[pjdurai]

Running into same problem here with Vagrant 1.9.0 in a Rhel 7.3. Tried going back to Vagrant 1.8.7 and 1.8.6. It still happens (fog-xml error) ! May be something permanently messed up in my attempts to get 1.9 working !?

[joebew42]

Confirm the same issue on ArchLinux, Vagrant 1.9.0

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-aws

I get

 /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/dependency.rb:315:in `to_specs': Could not find 'fog-xml' (>= 0) among 44 total gem(s) (Gem::LoadError)
    Checked in 'GEM_PATH=/opt/vagrant/embedded/gems', execute `gem env` for more information

Is there any solution here? I am having the same issue on 'CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611'.
