Cant install plugin on Ubuntu 16.04 with Vagrant 2.1.1

[ju2wheels]

Steps to reproduce

1. Install vagrant from deb on Vagrant website
2. Install deps:

   sudo apt-get install qemu libvirt-bin ebtables dnsmasq
   sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev libvirt-dev zlib1g-dev ruby-dev
   

3. Install plugin:

   vagrant plugin install vagrant-libvirt
   

Expected behaviour

vagrant-libvirt should be successfully installed.

Actual behaviour

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-libvirt
Installing the 'vagrant-libvirt' plugin. This can take a few minutes...
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
Bundler, the underlying system Vagrant uses to install plugins,
reported an error. The error is shown below. These errors are usually
caused by misconfigured plugin installations or transient network
issues. The error from Bundler is:

Are you using upstream vagrant package or your distros package?
Upstream

Closing, I got it working with the following:

CONFIGURE_ARGS="with-libvirt-include=/usr/include/libvirt with-libvirt-lib=/usr/lib" vagrant plugin install vagrant-libvirt

[archenroot]

I eventually got into this situation as well on Gentoo system I was cleaning .vagrant subfolders etc. I had to simply clean shell envars by ./etc/profile
