Hi,

It doesn't claim anymore because I drop this requirement 2 days ago:

https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/517724

after the repo-checker told me nothing provides python-gnome-extras 7 days ago:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/M17N/virtaal

I don't want to maintain it, I was just curious about why its dropped
as it was a requirements for another package. The answer could be: its
unmantained, its a dead code, doesn't compile anymore, noone cares,
etc

Regards,

Luiz
