the swig patch failed to apply because swig has recently been removed from
the source code (in favour of ctypes).

I suggest you wait a few days for Frankie to post the new changes in the
debian alioth svn package rules repo. (if he hasn't already done so)


or just delete the swig patch from the master patch list in the
debian/patches/ dir.
