Hi all,

It's been a while since I've built tails, been busy with other
projects.. Anyway, I've done a git pull, git clean -fxd (to clear out
.vagrant), and removed ~/.vagrant.d. I then tried to build with noram,
since my laptop is low on free memory, and I get:

austin@debian-laptop:~/src/tails$ export TAILS_BUILD_OPTIONS=noram

austin@debian-laptop:~/src/tails$ rake build
rake aborted!
VagrantCommandError: 'vagrant ["status"]' command failed: 1
/home/austin/src/tails/Rakefile:61:in `capture_vagrant'
/home/austin/src/tails/Rakefile:84:in `vm_state'
/home/austin/src/tails/Rakefile:117:in `enough_free_memory_for_ram_build?'
/home/austin/src/tails/Rakefile:145:in `block in <top (required)>'
Tasks: TOP => build => parse_build_options
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

I see the same thing when I build on my desktop, with ~15 GB free (with
or without noram), so I feel like I've done something wrong.

I've followed https://tails.boum.org/contribute/build/, but don't see
any workarounds for this. Anyone have any idea what I'm missing?

This is on Debian Sid, x86_64.
