Error occurred when creating the ssh key (ssh-keygen returned 1)

vagrant init precise32
vagrant up

This normally works, i've not changed anything but now every time I try run vagrant it gives me

$ vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Less insecure SSH key not found, generating key
Error occurred when creating the ssh key (ssh-keygen returned 1)

How do I fix this?

The error is caused by the new vagrant-rekey-ssh plugin.

If you do vagrant up --debug and examine the ouput, you will see that the following causes your command to fail:

 Starting process: ["C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Git\\bin/ssh-keygen.EXE", "-f", "C:
/Users/Nik/.vagrant.d/less_insecure_private_key", "-N", ""]
DEBUG subprocess: Selecting on IO
DEBUG subprocess: stderr: ssh-keygen.EXE": option requires an argument -- N

A simple fix for this problem is to manually generate a private key. To do so simply do: ssh-keygen -f ~/.vagrant.d/less_insecure_private_key
