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,
/mjt

Changes:
gnome-boxes (50.0-3) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Team upload
* d/control: Only build on architectures where qemu is available.
gnome-boxes is a UI for qemu-based virtual machines, so it can only
be installable on architectures that have qemu available. Use a B-D
on qemu-system-common as a representation of the qemu architectures,
avoiding the need to duplicate the list here.
Also B-D on architecture-is-64-bit, as a transitional mechanism to
avoid the q-s-c dependency being satisfiable by "cruft" packages on
armhf and i386.
