I'm having the same issue here.. I wound up manually downloading the virtualbox.box file and using tar to extract. This has been consistent trying to extract with Ubuntu 14.04, Arch, and Fedora.
I've tested random xenial64 versions all the way back to 20160615.1.0. Consistently this is what I get: > tar xvf virtualbox.box box.ovf Vagrantfile metadata.json ubuntu-xenial-16.04-cloudimg.mf ubuntu-xenial-16.04-cloudimg.vmdk tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: rmtlseek not stopped at a record boundary tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now > bsdtar -xvf virtualbox.box x box.ovf x Vagrantfile x metadata.json x ubuntu-xenial-16.04-cloudimg.mf x ubuntu-xenial-16.04-cloudimg.vmdk: Truncated tar archive bsdtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. Arch Linux : > tar --version tar (GNU tar) 1.29 > bsdtar --version bsdtar 3.2.1 - libarchive 3.2.1 zlib/1.2.8 liblzma/5.2.2 bz2lib/1.0.6 liblz4/1.7.1 Ubuntu 14.04: > tar --version tar (GNU tar) 1.27.1 > bsdtar --version bsdtar 3.1.2 - libarchive 3.1.2 Surprising enough, the latest trusty64 version works fine with vagrant add. Hope this helps troubleshoot.
