Vagrant 1.9.4 on Ubuntu 16.04 vagrant-share/helper/api (LoadError)

[dpetukhov]

Hello.

After installing vagrant_1.9.4_x86_64.deb on Ubuntu 16.04 with following commands: $ sudo dpkg -i vagrant_1.9.4_x86_64.deb

I can't run vagrant. It shows me an error. Take a look:

I fixed this by installing version 1.9.3 from here: https://releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant/1.9.3/ It works.

I got the same error when running the basic "vagrant" command following install of v1.9.4, however I was able to ignore it okay and follow the getting-started tutorial up to the point of "vagrant share":

Oops - I put this comment in the wrong place - I'm using vagrant against VirtualBox on my Windows laptop. Ignore if irrelevant!

[sergeyklay]

The same on macOS Sierra with Vagrant 1.9.4

[Ser-H]

Same problem

[delbekio]

same issue faced on mac Sierra with Vagrant 1.9.4

[ysying]

I have the same issue on Ubuntu 17.04.

[WestleyArgentum]

Same on OSX 10.12.4, Vagrant 1.9.4

[WestleyArgentum]

As @fdawg4l linked above, the solution is here: https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/8519#issuecomment-297413831

[dpetukhov]

Yes, solution is:

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-share --plugin-version 1.1.8

[rnkhouse]

Temporary solution: Use version 1.9.3

[sillkongen]

@dpetukhov solution worked for me on El Capitan 10.11.6 and vagrant version 1.9.4

[Arbagen]

works for Debian GNU/Linux 8.7 (jessie)

[radishspirit88]

@dpetukhov solution worked for me on macOS Sierra 10.12.4

[verhulstm]

the problem also exists for vagrant v1.9.3

[sneaker-rohit]

Same problem on Kali Linux (Debian). Solution proposed by @dpetukhov works good for me. Thanks!

[Super-Genius]

Works, but why doesn't hashicorp fix this?

[verhulstm]

The recommendation of running:

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-share --plugin-version 1.1.8

does not fix the problem on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS.

I fixed the issue on my workstation by completely uninstalling all of vagrant, then I deleted the hidden .vagrant.d dir (located in your home dir), then I reinstalled vagrant 1.9.4 and reinstalled all the vagrant plugins that I use.
