Which is a pitty. I had hoped to find Fedora Core Development or
Fedora Core 3 Test entries in your configuration file. The package
versions look like they're from Fedora Core 3 Test 1 or so.

"rpm -Uvh --oldpackage swig* subversion*" with the packages from your
installation CDs or downloaded from the web.

Actually, newer versions of the swig package, e.g. in Fedora Core 3
Test releases, changed from providing libswigfoo.so to providing
libswigfoo.so.0 versioned library names, which would break the
dependency in the subversion package.

Btw, you are highly encouraged to choose a mirror server instead
of pointing yum to the primary and often overloaded site.
