Vagrant up: bsdtar: Error opening archive: Unrecognized archive format

Hello, I am just starting with vagrant but am having trouble getting started. I am trying to do a basic “Hello World” type exercise to get started, but after successfully running vagrant init hashicorp/bionic64, when I run vagrant up it fails with bsdtar: Error opening archive: Unrecognized archive format. I attached a link to dpaste with a shell session showing what is happening, including a full debug log from running vagrant up --debug. Note that I tried to directly attach this as a file to this post but could not as I am a new user to this forum. Also the text is too long to add it to this post directly.

Note that this is on Slackware Linux 15.0, and I installed vagrant 2.2.15 with the this SlackBuild.

log: dpaste/KpaXt (Plain Text)

I was able to fix the problem by upgrading vagrant to the latest version.

Solved.
