py38- and py39- tables do not work

[lpagani91]

The package tables cannot be loaded in versions 3.8 and 3.9 of python. Versions 2.7 and 3.7 are fine, 3.10 does not exist. The error message is the following :

Ah! OK. I checked py38-tables in the tracker and found a closed ticket to an unrelated bug which was fixed. Too bad I was too restrictive (because py37-tables works) and missed #66624
