Please doublecheck with "which swig2.0". Up to date sid behaves like this: ----------------- (SID)ametzler@argenau:~$ dpkg -s swig2.0 | grep ^Version Version: 2.0.5-1 (SID)ametzler@argenau:~$ which swig2.0 /usr/bin/swig2.0 (SID)ametzler@argenau:~$ swig2.0 -version SWIG Version 2.0.5 [...] ----------------- Also to be sure I have downloaded the official tarball from sourceforge and the orig.tar.gz from debian. They are identical. ametzler@argenau:/tmp$ md5sum swig-2.0.5.tar.gz swig2.0_2.0.5.orig.tar.gz 762760512887873b68325fcbd391c145 swig-2.0.5.tar.gz 762760512887873b68325fcbd391c145 swig2.0_2.0.5.orig.tar.gz I think that this dependency (SID)ametzler@argenau:~$ apt-cache show swig |\ grep -E 'Package|Depends' Package: swig Depends: swig2.0 (>= 2.0.0-1) is not optimal, however this is a minor bug, not a serious one.
