To the best of my knowledge, neither swig-1.3.21-2 nor
subversion*1.0.3-1 are packages from Fedora Core 2. 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?
