• The platform is Ubuntu Linux 13.04 64-bit
• Same stuff used to work fine with previous versions of VirtualBox

The OVF file being imported

vbox log file

Appliance import from GUI fails too.

Other information to reproduce the issue: the offending OVF appliance has been taken from  https://dl.dropbox.com/u/31081437/Berkshelf-CentOS-6.3-x86_64-minimal.box (Installed through through Vagrant  http://www.vagrantup.com/ utility)

Seems others are complaining by same issue:  http://www.marshut.com/pzisi/progress-object-failure-ns-error-call-failed-when-running-vagrant-up-in-getting-started-guide.html

Thanks for the report. This is a 4.2.14 regression and happens only for appliances without a manifest. We already fixed the bug in the repository. Could you install  this test build and confirm that the problem is gone? Thank you!

I was seeing the same issue with 4.2.14. The test build in comment:2 fixed the issue for me.

[gerardo.lisboa]

quick workaround: go to the directory where the ovf file is placed and create the missing manifests following the instructions in  http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2012/01/how-to-create-manifest-file-for-ovf.html

[javornikolov]

I just tested the provided test build as per comment:2 and it solved the problem. Thanks!

Replying to frank: Thanks Frank. The  4.2.15-86695 build does fix the import issue. Vagrant works fine now with the same appliance.

When will 4.2.15 be available for download? I use Arch Linux.

[michael_hodgins]

I'm having the same problem on Mac OSX. Is there a .dmg for 4.2.15-86695?

Try manually generating the manifest using openssl and re-import as a workaround. I don't think there is a OS X 4.2.15 build.

Thanks, Terry, that worked fine.

Finally fixed in 4.2.16 (released today).
