I have cleaned my system with depclean, which unmerged dev-python/numeric. It seems castle-combat needs it: $ castle-combat Castle-Combat requires pygame and twisted. If the game doesn't start up correctly, please verify that these are installed. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/games/bin/castle-combat", line 7, in <module> import main File "/usr/games/lib64/castle-combat/main.py", line 4, in <module> import common File "/usr/games/lib64/castle-combat/common.py", line 3, in <module> from Numeric import * ImportError: No module named Numeric After I remerged dev-python/numeric castle-combat works again. Older pygame (pygame-1.7.1) depends on dev-python/numeric, but the latest stable don't. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge castle-combat 2. run the game 3. if you don't have dev-python/numeric it will fail
fixed in portage. thanks for the bug report.
