Old ubuntu/xenial64 box version points to current

[Pavel Martynov]

Hi everyone!

I found that I can not download old version of ubuntu/xenial64 20171028.0.0. If I do "vagrant.exe box add ubuntu/xenial --box-version 20171028.0.0", then vagrant downloads box to ~/.vagrant.d/boxes/ubuntu-VAGRANTSLASH-xenial64/20171028.0.0/virtualbox/, but in box.ovf will be line "<VirtualSystem ovf:id="ubuntu-xenial-16.04-cloudimg-20171028">". Look at versions mismatch.

Additionally, I test download with curl:

$ curl -X HEAD -i https://vagrantcloud.com/ubuntu/boxes/xenial64/versions/20171028.0.0/providers/virtualbox.box

HTTP/1.1 302 Found

Location: https://app.vagrantup.com/ubuntu/boxes/xenial64/versions/20171028.0.0/providers/virtualbox.box

$ curl -X HEAD -i https://app.vagrantup.com/ubuntu/boxes/xenial64/versions/20171028.0.0/providers/virtualbox.box

<skipped>

Location: http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/xenial/current/xenial-server-cloudimg-amd64-vagrant.box

<skipped>

So, https://vagrantcloud.com/ubuntu/boxes/xenial64/versions/20171028.0.0/providers/virtualbox.box actually points to "current", which is 20171028 now.

This is a bug or expected behavior?

Hello

Thats how canonical manage their boxes in vagrant cloud

What I did once was create my own boxes pointing to those, however there is no guarantee the old boxes will stay for ever.

Other option is just create your own boxes.
