Expected behavior

It should be able to install plugin

Actual behavior

Reproduction information

MacOS Ventura 13.5

Guest operating system

Steps to reproduce

1. Install vagrant 2.3.7 from https://developer.hashicorp.com/vagrant/downloads
2. Install plugin: vagrant plugin install vagrant-aws --debug

NOTE: The same works correctly for vagrant version 2.3.4

Please feel free to close the issue if:

• it is being addressed already

I had this issue as well. I'm running an M1 mac (arm64) and it looks like the issue started (as far as I can tell) on the first version Hashicorp started publishing arm64 versions of vagrant: 2.3.5.

A work around until they fix it is to:

1. Move them json 2.6.1 gemspec file so it's no long used

mv /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/3.1.0/specifications/default/json-2.6.1.gemspec /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/3.1.0/specifications/default/json-2.6.1.gemspec.bak

2. In the file /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/ruby/3.1.0/json/version.rb change VERSION = '2.6.1' to `VERSION = '2.6.3'

After those steps you should be able to run vagrant plugin install vagrant-aws

2. /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/ruby/3.1.0/json/version.rb

this also worked for a fresh ubuntu install on wsl2 :-)
