- Move "pitfalls" to "troubleshooting"
- Add docs on Micromamba sporadically hangs (QEMU + ARM) #1611
- I want to add more to that page soon (common issues we see in the bug tracker)

Yeah... I will highlight this comment top of the issue.

| When using Mamba/Micromamba inside a QEMU guest, installing packages may sometimes hang forever due to an `issue with QEMU and glibc <https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/285>`_. As a workaround, set ``G_SLICE=always-malloc`` in the QEMU guest, eg.:: | ||

Is there still any point to suggesting micromamba config set extract_threads 1 as an alternative? (If so, we should offer the corresponding mamba command...) Or is that now pointless after your patch?

G_SLICE doesn't seem to work for me. However doing RUN micromamba config set extract_threads 1 before RUN micromamba create -vv -y -n pangolin -f /environment.yml does work luckily!
