-devel packages are used to build other packages, I don't expect anyone to have those installed on a system. Are you requiring them for something or were they installed in the past required by a package (which should not happen)?
Must have been pulled in by something which I have installed to build something. Sometimes "fedpkg local" is the quickest way to build a package when looking for a build error, so local installs of "-devel" packages do make sense for some developers.

Sorry, Mikel, but wouldn’t it be possible that golang-dario-mergo (https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=37568) might try to replace this package (without having the proper tagging)? Many thanks for your help.
