Mailcatcher failing install

[cmosguy]

Firstly, I am noticing that when installing ruby I need to > 385MB for the vagrant session.

When going to the point of installing mailcatcher I see:

Installing Mailcatcher

libsqlite3-dev is already the newest version.

Thanks! I've added a note about the memory issue in the issue related to this (#312). Keep track of #312 for this!

@fideloper i did a test where I logged into the guest the box and copied over the script using wget for mailcatcher.sh. Then I ran the script in the guest machine and it worked! Do you know why it is failing here during the provisioning? Is this information useful?

It is useful, thank you!

So far I've seen a few cases failing on provisioning but NOT after provisioning:

1. VM exhausts its allocated memory (I'm not sure if this is a bug in newer Vagrant, related to Ubuntu 14.04 or if something else is going on)
2. Apt-get repositories fail to install without the --force-yes option, due to some issue with verifying packages via their public keys
3. Third-party package aren't yet up to date for Ubuntu 14.04 (this would happen regardless of during provisioning or after I think, however)

It sounds like you might be running into 1 and 3?

[cmosguy]

are you having the same error when you run your provisions?

I haven't tried mailcatcher, but everyone else is having issues with it as well.

Memory issues are currently happening when installing composer and laravel/symfony using HHVM (but not during normal installations).

I use --force-yes in most installers that also include a new repository (PHP, mysql, mariadb, nginx, apache) so that has been less of an issue.

FYI... I'm also having the issue with Mailcatcher, most annoying :( - I love that program! 👍
