Vagrant: Repair VirutalBox GuestAdditions
# Based on https://gist.github.com/fernandoaleman/5083680
# Start the old vagrant
$ vagrant init ubuntu_saucy
$ vagrant up
# You should see a message like:
# [default] The guest additions on this VM do not match the install version of
# VirtualBox! This may cause things such as forwarded ports, shared
# folders, and more to not work properly. If any of those things fail on
# this machine, please update the guest additions and repackage the
# box.
#
# Guest Additions Version: 4.2.16
# VirtualBox Version: 4.3.4
$ vagrant ssh
