Debian Stretch no longer supported

[spollard]

New as of June 2022: When developing and calling vagrant-spk vm up, the virtual machine's apt update fails to find some packages (I get a bunch of Error 404 s) because debian stretch (via vm box debian/contrib-stretch64) is not supported anymore. I think they took down some essential repos.

I'm trying out bumping to debian/contrib-buster64 and debian/bullseye64. There is no contrib-bullseye64 option.

Just use bullseye64, contrib- isn't required starting with that release.

Yeah I tried just dropping in bullseye64, but it didn't work out of the box. Buster did though, so I'll make a pr for that.

[ocdtrekkie]

What issue did you hit with bullseye64?

Looks like /opt/app/ didn't mount correctly. I've been trying to get virtual box guest additions versions from my host to work with the ones on the virtual machine for a bit.

From the logs Probably not a problem [default] A Virtualbox Guest Additions installation was found but no tools to rebuild or start them.

The guest tries to update the additions Installing Virtualbox Guest Additions 6.1.34 - guest version is 6.0.0

These versions may be compatible

An error occurred during installation of VirtualBox Guest Additions 6.1.34. Some functionality may not work as intended.
In most cases it is OK that the "Window System drivers" installation failed.

And finally there are a few different errors about /opt/app/ not being mounted, such as

    default: /opt/app/.sandstorm/setup.sh: line 26: npm: command not found
The SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status. Vagrant
assumes that this means the command failed. The output for this command
should be in the log above. Please read the output to determine what
went wrong.

Just connecting this issue with a PM for updating to Debian Bullseye (which is more recent than Buster).
