Ok. I was not aware that no notifications are sent out for MRs. I'll
ping here or on the bug tracker in the future then.

I would like to help with these. Is there a good way to debug these
architectures? Or should I just try to install Debian in QEMU?

Some 200 tests seem to be failing because of the wrong networkx version
I think (2.* instead of 1.11.) Should I create an MR for this even
though I could not test it? Is there some sort of CI setup that I can
use for my merge requests or would I have to roll my own at the moment?

Thanks for your guidance with this!
