Doing a sudo rm -rf /opt/vagrant/embedded/bin/curl did not help either… Did see that end of June all these boxes like Bento will be moved to app.vagrantup.com, but I am not sure why I am having 404s now then…

Well in the end I added Trellis as upstream, rebased (which was a pain) getting the latest merged in my Trellis repo. Then I provisioned again using vagrant box provision. When I then did a vagrant box update I was told there was none so I did a vagrant box add bento/ubuntu-16.04 post rm -rf ~/.vagrant.d:

 vagrant box add bento/ubuntu-16.04
==> box: Loading metadata for box 'bento/ubuntu-16.04'
    box: URL: https://vagrantcloud.com/bento/ubuntu-16.04
This box can work with multiple providers! The providers that it
can work with are listed below. Please review the list and choose
the provider you will be working with.

1) hyperv
2) parallels
3) virtualbox
4) vmware_desktop

Enter your choice: 3
==> box: Adding box 'bento/ubuntu-16.04' (v201801.02.0) for provider: virtualbox
    box: Downloading: https://vagrantcloud.com/bento/boxes/ubuntu-16.04/versions/201801.02.0/providers/virtualbox.box

I think this has solved my 404 so will close this thread now

This is the issue opened on the vagrant repository. There’s a nice workaround to solve the problem editing the metadata_url file. Hope that could help more people with this issue.
