Ok
The output shows the buikd failed from packer point of view
the issue is here\
"sudo shutdown -h now"
you shoudln't do that
there is a section in the configuration that after all the provisioners are
done, will continue with poweroff
"builders": [
{
..
"shutdown_command": "echo 'shutdown -P now' > shutdown.sh; echo
'vagrant' | sudo -S sh 'shutdown.sh'"
}],
So the shutdown in the provisining is causing the problems
