Vagrant too old to fetch boxes

[Melvyn Sopacua]

The version in Trusty is too old for the online format. Following the docs example (http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/getting-started/index.html) no longer works. Using vbox add with a URL no longer works.
Updating to the current 1.6.3 fixes all this.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Found this bug report when I came across the same problem. The current version of vagrant is now 1.6.5.
