Replacing the initial vagrant box from "ubuntu/trusty64" with "ubuntu/xenial64" was a great move :
-  xenial is the latest ubuntu long term support release, 
-  also  this avoids an issue which is specific to older versions of ubuntu : when running multiprocessing python inside the image the OS needs to create temporary files in /run/shm and /run/lock and this does not work unless the /etc/singularity/singularity.conf is modified with an additional  line:  "bind path = /run" )
However when testing more, I found that box the ubuntu/xenial64 does not have a system python2 installed, just a python3,  Because of that , several steps fail unless python2 is installed:  some python scripts have a she-bang line like this:
#!/usr/bin/env python and in absence of python2 , the python command is not found. So this is another hassle which would need to be documented in the instructions 
The solution I found is to use an alternative ubuntu1604 box from the bento project : http://chef.github.io/bento/ Bento is an impressive project and their vagrant boxes are well made and well regarded. https://atlas.hashicorp.com/bento
