mount: /mnt: mount point does not exist.
==> default: Checking for guest additions in VM...
The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!

Ok, the only solution I can find is to downgrade VirtualBox to 5.2.8

@allochi FWIW I am using 5.2.14 successfully which is also the default version of the client provided in nixos.

@PierreR is there a recommended way to override that guest addition version?

config.vbguest.auto_update = false seemed to solve most of the problem for me (from https://stackoverflow.com/a/37560913/320546)
