I understand now. I'm following
https://medium.com/oracledevs/two-birds-with-one-home-cloned-vagrant-multi-machines-2ee5ba75fad8
and I see that a master VM is created that never gets started.
Vagrant uses VirtualBox linked clones to create new VMs.
So if I want to update the master, I have to update the base box it is
based on.
