I experience more or less the same situation of Hughe: I switched to
the 4.x Linux kernel series in jessie-backports broke the vbox and
consequently my vagrant setup.

Another perfectly working f/oss alternative to vbox is qemu-kvm

so let me add the blame to hasciicorp's vagrant for choosing to phase
out the qemu backend, whatever stupid reason they had for it, I wish
now someone rewrites something like a vagrant for qemu and possibly in
shell script...
