I think this shouldn't occur as we are building gnome-boxes with --disable-usbredir... would you mind on reporting this to upstream? -> bugzilla.gnome.org In summary, building gnome-boxes with --disable-usbredir shouldn't require spice-gtk to have that support Thanks a lot
this also looks solved in 3.20.2
