Description Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-18 01:57:11 UTC 
swig is not keyworded on your arches. Please keyword it and remove the workaround in the lcms-1.15 ebuild.
Comment 1 Hal Engel 2006-11-18 14:02:23 UTC 
Why is swig a dependency of lcms?  And looking at the lcms ebuild it appears to be for anything that is not x86-fbsd.  

Swig is a programming language translator that is used to convert things from say c to python and to create wrappers for using libraries from languages other than the one the library was written in.  For example to create a python wrapper for a  c library.  If free BSD does not need swig why is this needed anywhere else?  In fact I was able to get lcms to build correctly by hand without swig installed on my machine.

Have a look at 148728. It is needed for python 2.5. The ugly workaround is because it was not keyworded when I fixed the other bug.
