Since Qemu 11.0.1 (9288caa) qemu is no longer built for i686 and
32 bit arm stuff. But gnome-boxes hard-depends on qemu, so it was still being
built for those archs but could never be installed there. Since gnome-boxes is in gnome-apps other apps such as evolution or gnome-maps fail on 32bit.

As far as I can evaluate the situation the remaining i686 failure is expected. CI tries to pull gnome-boxes on i686 even though it's no longer built there, so it picks up the old gnome-boxes from repo-ci. The stale i686 gnome-boxes binary needs removing from the repo after merge.
