Comment 5 for bug 1503565

As I have posted on https://askubuntu.com/questions/860979/i-tried-to-install-vagrant-in-ubuntu-but-failed-in-dependence-problem-libarchiv :

i had the same problem. I found solution:

1) Download bsdtar suited for Debian 16.04 (mainly for libarchive13 in U16.04): https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/bsdtar/download cd /tmp wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/liba/libarchive/bsdtar_3.1.2-11ubuntu0.16.04.3_amd64.deb

2) Install it locally: apt install /tmp/bsdtar_3.1.2-11ubuntu0.16.04.3_amd64.deb

3) than vagrant can be installed: apt install vagrant

This package should be added to Ubuntu 16.04 repository. I don't know how to create request for that.
