Vagrant failing to run Puppet if first `vagrant up` fails because another virtual box already has port 3000 (see: a.sh). Then succeeding after `destroy` then `up` again (see: b.sh).

[default] Box 'precise32' was not found. Fetching box from specified URL for

a box for this provider, you should interrupt Vagrant now and add
the box yourself. Otherwise Vagrant will attempt to download the
full box prior to discovering this error.

[default] Fixed port collision for 22 => 2222. Now on port 2200.
Vagrant cannot forward the specified ports on this VM, since they
would collide with some other application that is already listening
on these ports. The forwarded port to 3000 is already in use
on the host machine.

To fix this, modify your current projects Vagrantfile to use another
port. Example, where '1234' would be replaced by a unique host port:

  config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 3000, host: 1234

Sometimes, Vagrant will attempt to auto-correct this for you. In this
case, Vagrant was unable to. This is usually because the guest machine
is in a state which doesn't allow modifying port forwarding.
