Package: gnome-boxes
Version: 50.0-2
Severity: serious

Upstream qemu removed support for 32bit hosts entirely, including
even qemu-img utility (qemu-utils package is still in debian due
to a temporary patch).  gnome-boxes can no longer use qemu-system
or qemu-utils on 32bit hosts.  This includes at least 2 release
architectures: i386 and armhf.

Please remove qemu from dependencies.  This dependency prevents
migration of qemu (and libvirt) to testing.

qemu will no longer support 32bit architectures.  This was a difficult
but sure decision upstream, and due to this decisison, a good portion
of questionable-quality quirky code - to cope with 32bit address space
limitations - has been removed finally.  This code is not going back.

Thanks,
