title: Vagrant Meta Data is Corrupt
body: <p>Hope someone can help out here. I'm trying to version self hosted vagrant boxes, so doing this without using Vagrant Cloud.</p>
  
  <p>I've created the following meta data file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
    "description": "How about this",
    "name": "Graphite",
    "versions": [
      {
        "version": "1.8",
        "providers": [
          {
            "name": "virtualbox",
            "url": "http://desktopenvironments/Graphite/Graphite_1.8.box"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is taken directly from the vagrant (somewhat lacking) documentation found at: <a href="http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/boxes/format.html" rel="nofollow">http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/boxes/format.html</a>. </p>
  
  <p>When running a vagrant add (taking the box file that contains this file directly from disk) I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>The metadata associated with the box 'graphite' appears corrupted.
  This is most often caused by a disk issue or system crash. Please
  remove the box, re-add it, and try again.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any assistance as to why this is happening would be greatly appreciated.</p>
