The app-admin/setools package still requires swig-1 for its interface building. Attempts at trying to get it to support swig-2 have failed and it doesn't look like this is going to change in the next few weeks/months (the problem is known since august last year). Currently, app-admin/setools depends on <dev-lang/swig-2 but this generates conflicts as other packages depend on >=dev-lang/swig-2.something If we SLOT swig-1.3 and have it provide a renamed binary (I suggest to use "swig1.3") then the dependencies can be met more easily. Applications that cannot deal with swig-2 can then use the swig1.3 binary instead. The next comment will provide a patch against the current swig-1.3.40-r1.ebuild that does this, I'll attach the full ebuild as well for your convenience. I have succesfully built setools-3.3.8 (after having it use swig1.3) using this ebuild. Reproducible: Always

Created attachment 346174 [details] swig-1.3.40-r2 ebuild Ebuild with the suggested modifications.
Feel free to commit this yourself and fix any breakage you cause. It looks like only setools and dev-python/apse depend on <dev-lang/swig-2 in the tree.
Committed to the tree, as well as new ebuilds for apse and setools (indeed only ones that had a dependency on <dev-lang/swig-2*). Keeping it on TEST-REQUEST for a while to see if other breakages come up.
