We're having the same issue as you, @ericsaboia. Did you ever find a resolution?

I have been using vagrant for a while and never seen this error until today, an engineer was trying to run my framework and it failed with the exact same error, after a tons of research thinking this was related to ruby or some gem bad installation, it ended up being an old version of vagrant that was causing the problem. I asked him to upgrade vagrant and the problem went away( no need to uninstall just upgrade it ), It worked for me.

I fought with this error, trying to install chef 11.12.8 :

An error occurred while installing json (1.8.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that gem install json -v '1.8.1' succeeds before bundling.

Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError: bad response Not Found 404 (http://gems.hashicorp.com/gems/json-1.8.1.gem)

for the better part of a day. Thanks to albac, I decided to try upgrading vagrant from the 1.7.2 Version I was on, one step at a time, and lo and behold Vagrant 1.7.3 got me past this error.
