Weird! What happens if you run:

(cd vagrant && vagrant status)

Also, have you made sure that up-to-date packages of vagrant and vagrant-libvirt are installed? (I know some people have had APT pinnings and stuff that has kept them on old, unsupported versions.)

I'd also be interested if one of our development branches, where we've reworked a lot how Vagrant works, improves the situation; can you please checkout the wip/11972-use-vagrant-in-jenkins Git branch and try to build? You might have to clear vagrant/.vagrant before you try starting this new VM.

Cheers!
