Hello Neil. rockylinux/9 3.0.0 does not provide the unknown-architecture as with 2.0.0, so this will fail on windows: vagrant init --box-version 3.0.0 --minimal rockylinux/9

hm.. it does not automatically know what architecture to get?

It looks like even I am on an amd64-architecture vagrant wants to download the unknown architecture.

interesting. that feels like a bit of an unexpected behavior by Vagrant

but--I do remember that the 3.0.0 release is a bit different than the 2.0.0 w.r.t. architectures, as you say. I had assumed this wouldn't affect anyone

No, only if specified in the Vargrantfile: config.vm.box_architecture = "amd64" - but not when using vagrant init.

vagrant cloud changed the interface to allow for multiple architectures, but apparently this doesn't work as intended. even though I had the amd64 images set as 'Default provider architecture' in the release, vagrant appears to not care about this (or, maybe, some versions of vagrants?)
