It seems https://vagrantcloud.com no longer supports Vagrant v2.3.7: ~~~ $ vagrant --version Vagrant 2.3.7 $ vagrant init ubuntu/focal64 --box-version 20240821.0.1 $ vagrant up Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider... ==> default: Box 'ubuntu/focal64' could not be found.

You specified a box version constraint with a direct box file path. Box version constraints only work with boxes from Vagrant Cloud or a custom box host. Please remove the version constraint and try again. ~~~ ~~~ $ vagrant --version Vagrant 2.4.3 $ vagrant init ubuntu/focal64 --box-version 20240821.0.1 A Vagrantfile has been placed in this directory. You are now ready to vagrant up your first virtual environment! Please read the comments in the Vagrantfile as well as documentation on vagrantup.com for more information on using Vagrant. tange@64g:~/privat/parallel/testsuite/vagrant/ubuntu/focal64$ vagrant up Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider... ==> default: Box 'ubuntu/focal64' could not be found.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagrant_%28software%29#License_change) I would like to avoid forcing others to run non-free software, so I would like to stay at version 2.3.7. After creating the box with 2.4.3 (above) it seems I can do: ~~~ $ sudo dpkg -i releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant/2.3.7/vagrant_2.3.7-1_amd64.deb ~~~ So version 2.4.3 downloads something (probably https://vagrantcloud.com/ubuntu/boxes/focal64/versions/20240821.0.1/providers/virtualbox/unknown/vagrant.box) and make it available in a way that 2.3.7 then can use. Can I download the box with wget and pass it to 2.3.7?
