pygame-devel is gone as it was broken. It required the main package
without reason, and the main package required 32-bit Python which is not
available for x86_64. The alternative would have been to blacklist
pygame-devel.

Stupid. Wrong. Why? White-list, black-list, what do you refuse to
understand?

IMO, the gnumeric-devel package is broken and should be eliminated.
It would not be the first -devel package which should never have been
published.
