Hello Birgitta.

When Vagrant stop the VM, it does have a time out that usually is fit for
99% of the time.

But better be safe than sorry, so you can try this.

in the VM run : sudo sync  2 times
shutdown the VM.

If you got time, copy te VM in the Virtualbox GUI and inspect the copy over
there.

run the package program, then impoort the new box.

Check the logs that vagrant may tell you you need to use --force if the box
you are trying to import already exists

and check the new box


This is the normal sequence of steps, and works fine.

What may be happening, is at shutdown Vagrant is being to agressive,
something is not allowing to shutdown the vm normally, or just take too
long, so vagrant goes from gentle -> agressive and just poweroff the box
(like taking the power cable out)

the 2nd part to check is when you import. If vagrant box already got a box
with the same name, it wont import the new one, so you need to force the
import. This would explain if you already got a previous version of this
box, and you are running an script that is not showing all the logs. not
sure this will be happening, just thinking loud

Hope this helps
