Error on vagrant up: The metadata for the box was malformed.

[marukqs]

Hi,

When I clone and vagrant up I get the following error and vagrant exits:

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Box 'scotch/box' could not be found. Attempting to find and install...
    default: Box Provider: virtualbox
    default: Box Version: >= 0
==> default: Loading metadata for box 'scotch/box'

default: URL: https://atlas.hashicorp.com/scotch/box
The metadata for the box was malformed. The exact error
is shown below. Please contact the maintainer of the box so
that this issue can be fixed.
Caught Encoding::CompatibilityError at '{"description":"Scot': incompatible encoding regexp match (ASCII-8BIT regexp with UTF-8 string) 

My system: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS, Vagrant 1.7.2

I had the same problem with Vagrant 1.8.5 on Ubuntu 14.04.5
Resolved by upgrading to Vagrant 1.9.1
