Perhaps my wording was in error. What I was trying to say clumsily was
the bash script vagrant/provision/assets/build-tails running on the
VirtualBox base image tails-builder-20141201 reeled in by the 'rake
build' command appears to bork with package dependency issues.

Thank you for that tip. Double-checked, and yes, I'm building the
'devel' branch:

SSH'ing into the VirtualBox host after rake build errors:

Use apt-get update to see if it exposes these packages:

No coconut :(

Looking again at https://tails.boum.org/contribute/design/vagrant/ to
try to rebuild tails veewee base box from first principles:

> After issuing the commands below, Veewee will download the boot ISO image, drive the debian-installer using preeseding and run postinstall.sh to take care of seting up the environment expected by Vagrant.

'veewee vbox build' (in vagrant CWD) gives 404 error on
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.5.0/amd64/iso-cd/debian-7.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso

Looks like this ISO image has been removed from the Debian site.

Some notes on to verify and replicate the veewee base box :

- VEEWEE_SRC does not appear to be defined anywhere in the devel branch.

- the VirtualBox host shell prompt date is out of sync with the veewee
base box filename although likely only a cosmetic issue by static
setting of VIRTUAL_MACHINE_HOSTNAME in vagrant/lib/tails_build_settings.rb

I'll look at this more closely when I can, but the core issue appears to
be that the current veewee base box image does not satisfy build
requirements for the current devel branch?

I could be mistaken on this, so feedback/corrections are much
appreciated. Has anyone successfully built tails using vagrant lately?

Thanks & Shine.
