Any suggestions would be appreciated

I'd have a guess that this is becuse of the version of Packer and Vagrant that are within the ubunutu repo's. Have a go at installing the most up-to-date version direct from the relavent hashicorp websites and have another go. I ran into a similar problem with another piece of software a couple of weeks ago.

I'd also say that when using vagrant and something go wrongs, its always worth going into Virtualbox (or whatever provider you are using) and manually deleting the broken boxes.

@br0kej thank you for your help.. i got further but it still fails.. here are the commands i used.. and the log messages of the failure.

Install Packer from main site

sudo apt install unzip
export VER="1.5.1"
wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/packer/${VER}/packer_${VER}_linux_amd64.zip
unzip packer_${VER}_linux_amd64.zip
sudo mv packer /usr/local/bin

Install Vagrant from Main Site

sudo wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant/2.2.7/vagrant_2.2.7_x86_64.deb
sudo dpkg -i vagrant_2.2.7_x86_64.deb -y
vagrant --version

Install Virtualbox 5.2

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get -y install gcc make linux-headers-$(uname -r) dkms
wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox_2016.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian $(lsb_release -sc) contrib" >> /etc/apt/sources.list'

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-5.2

curl -O http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.2.0/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.2.0-118431.vbox-extpack
sudo VBoxManage extpack install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.2.0-118431.vbox-extpack

Install BoomBox

sudo apt install git
sudo git clone https://github.com/nbeede/BoomBox.git
cd BoomBox

./build.sh virtualbox
