This is a pretty good start.

I suspect you're running a newer version of Vagrant, that our Vagrant
build system does not support yet. This is being investigated at
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/6221. Not that many of us are
using Vagrant, and none of us (AFAIK) is running a Vagrant that's this
recent, so your first contribution might be to fix this. Sorry for the
burden :/ Don't hesitate to add useful information to the ticket,
maybe it helps someone else fix it.
If you don't feel like working on this, then I suggest using the
"manual" build instructions instead:

Ouch. Welcome to the world of Ruby, and its poor support of backward
compatibility. I'm sorry this is happening to you, and I'd like the
path to you building Tails to be more joyful.
Anyone here wants to investigate and fix the Vagrant build with recent
Vagrant and newer distros, without breaking this build method on
current Debian stable (and possibly, latest Ubuntu LTS)?

Thank *you* in advance for your future contributions!
