Only failed on v0.5.4, v0.5.3 is fine

[SvenDowideit]

@hoverruan I presume you tried downloading .5.4 again to verify it wasn't something odd - we'll need to test ;/

I presume you're using OSX?

[hoverruan]

@SvenDowideit I tried downloaded v0.5.4 iso manually again, everything goes fine ...

Yes, tested under OSX 10.9

[hoverruan]

Also works fine without downloading iso manually.

Resolved problem by downloaded iso. At minimum, seems like the VBoxManage errors above should be fatal...?

[SvenDowideit]

there is a ./boot2docker download - I thought init used it, :/

[mik3y]

Looks like this line in my [purportedly v0.6.0] boot2docker is the problem:

$ LRN=$(curl 'https://api.github.com/repos/steeve/boot2docker/releases' 2>/dev/null|grep -o -m 1 -e "\"tag_name\":[[:space:]]*\"[a-z0-9.]*\""|head -1|cut -d: -f2|tr -d ' "')
$ echo $LRN

$

Seems it was fixed in 68b5931

[aheissenberger]

@SvenDowideit have been opening a issue #222 to easy reference cases based on the old release being served by homebrew

[steeve]

I saw that the brew formula has been updated. You might want to try it ?
