Yeah, yeah, sigh, it's me again....

Now I am running into a new issue, but I believe, something external happened.

For learning I removed all the downloaded things completely. Then I deleted also
~/.vagrant.d/ in my home and started from the beginning with a new git clone and a new,
but unchanged build.

But now there is a new issue, related to vagrant. Please take a look at the last output.

---- snap --------

I wasa not lazy, and searched the web. vagrant destroy does not work, and vagrant
global-status is telling me, there is no session running.

And I repeat: I did everything from scratch, reinstalling vagrant and its dependencies,
reinstalling the git-tree and so on.

As everything worked before, and I made no changes, the only conclusion is, that
something external must have changed. Something, I have no influence on.

If I am wrong, please apologize, any help is appreceated.

Best regards and happy hacking.
