Gnome-boxes: opengl is not available

I am using gnome-boxes on Arch Linux installed from arch repository.
I have installed 4 different virtual machines in Boxes.
2 of these 4 machines are still running as usual, but two are failing when launched in gnome-boxes.

Error message:

qemu-system-x86_64: -device virtio-vga-gl,id=video0,max_outputs=1,bus=pcie.0,addr=0x1: opengl is not available

Also there are options for gl in boxes missing. I used them when installing these machines.

How to get back opengl in boxes?

I have had a misery when deleting orphan packages in Arch. Maybe there a packages or configs missing now.

Hi! I fixed this issue in 41.2, our latest update. Please, let me know if the issue persists after you upgrade your gnome-boxes package.
