There have been subversion updates to 1.0.2, 1.0.4 (two times), 1.0.6 and 1.0.8 (latest). And swig in FC2 is swig-1.3.19-6.1.i386.rpm and has not been updated. I assume something might be wrong in your /etc/yum.conf, and the configured set of repositories provide a newer swig which breaks the dependency. So, what's in your /etc/yum.conf? -- Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) - Linux 2.6.8-1.541 loadavg: 0.06 0.36 0.60
