>From the top of my head, kreed. It has the following dependency:

  - !ruby/object:Gem::Dependency 
    name: arrayfields
    version_requirements: !ruby/object:Gem::Version::Requirement 
      requirements: 
        - 
          - ">"
          - !ruby/object:Gem::Version 
            version: 3.3.0

The latest arrayfields in the gemarchive is arrayfields-3.3.0.gem.

There were a couple more but I can't remember now...

In this specific case, it doesn't really matter cause kreed is early
pre-alpha, but having uninstallable gems is nonetheless funny.

UPDATE: David Naseby has asked me to tell you that Labyrinth should be
removed from the gem archive.
