Note that building the basebox isn't required; `rake build` will
download a basebox that we've prepared. Do you trust us? :)
Also, it seems our documentation is wrong; the command you should use if
you really want to do this is `rake basebox:create_basebox`. I've pushed
a fix to the docs (commit 7aeeaf8, also live on our homepage).

Sina reports running Ubuntu 13.10, which ships Vagrant 1.2.2, so `rake
build` will fail later on, indeed.
Sina, could you try installing Vagrant 1.0.3 from the Ubuntu 13.04 .deb
[1], or via:
gem install vagrant --version 1.0.3
That should provide you with a build system until that bug is fixed.

I hope this will change "soon" if we can move from using VirtualBox to
libvirt/KVM in Vagrant (Issue #6212). Otherwise, what is it that
prevents you other developers from using it?
In related news, while procrastinating yesterday and today I've done
some initial investigation of libvirt-vagrant, and I've actually managed
to build a fully working Tails ISO using vagrant-libvirt! I had to
resort to a couple of non-automated hacks, though, but I think I can at
least get building into a clean state (basebox building using veewee +
libvirt/KVM is another story, but that isn't as important). More to come
on this soon.

Note that veewee is only necessary for building the Vagrant basebox,
which, as I explained above, isn't necessary for building Tails using
Vagrant.
Cheers!
