With recent changes it is required to add the following to the Vagrantfile:

salt.install_args = "-P"

Pretty annoying to have this, since we have a large number of boxes and fresh installs are causing issues.

However, even with the -P flag it isn't properly provisioning either:

The second run of vagrant provision results in:

The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!

/tmp/bootstrap_salt.sh  -C -P

Stdout from the command:

Since we use Salt (with Vagrant) on a daily basis this is causing quite a bit of trouble.

This particular box uses the following Vagrantfile:

  config.vm.provision :salt do |salt|
    salt.minion_config = "dev/salt/minion"
    salt.install_args = "-P"
    salt.run_highstate = true

    salt.colorize = true
    salt.log_level = "info"
    salt.verbose = true
  end

Have you tried starting the minion by hand on that vagrant box? What's on the minion's log file?

After a clean provision:

2015-08-25 12:55:45,390 [salt.crypt       ][CRITICAL][6975] The Salt Master has rejected this minion's public key!
To repair this issue, delete the public key for this minion on the Salt Master and restart this minion.
Or restart the Salt Master in open mode to clean out the keys. The Salt Minion will now exit.

Since it is missing the configuration it is communicating with the production-master instead. Or at least trying to..

Perhaps this is more of a Salt-Vagrant provisioning issue rather than one for the Bootstrap although it was working fine before earlier and only started whenever the -P flag was introduced / required.

Having just the -P flag for salt.install_args doesn't just work. It also requires something I have found a workaround at the Vagrant issuetracker to make it work:

salt.bootstrap_options = "-F -c /tmp -P"
