Vagrant: No such file or directory - getcwd (Errno::ENOENT) when doing vagrant box add

I can't unpackage the lucid32 box once it is downloaded:

That's pretty interesting. Can you do an ls in ~/.vagrant/boxes and see whats there? That'll help.

Thanks

I wasn't able to reproduce this. Without more information I'm closing this for now.

I wasn't able to reproduce this either. My current feeling is "network hiccup".

Just for people with the same problem that ended up here.
Got the same issue when doing 'vagrant box add laravel/homestead'
Tried again and it worked fine. I think it was just a 'network hiccup' as @wsargent said.

I just stumbled upon an instance of this problem while installing the libvirt plugin. In my case it was due to launching a command from a non-existent current directory.
