List updated [#1]

This is based on old list, deleting current converted packages and
packages deleted from repos.
No new packages are added because I didn't a deep/fine scan. For each repo.

If any have a time, the idea to do the deep scan is (what I remember was
done manually in the past)

1) Download this db [#2].
2) Keep with 0 size files from db. -> packages names.
3) Scan from previous result list if there are any ELF32/ELF64 LSB
(relocatables (objects files, kernel modules, ar archives, etc),
executables, shared objects) and discard ELF for others archs (for
example AVR, ARM, SPARC) inside each package.
