subversion-1.1.1-4 is a development package and what you are seeing is
a package error with the swig-1.3.23-2 package in the development
tree:
rpm -q --provides -p swig-1.3.23-2.i386.rpm 
swig = 1.3.23-2

You need to file a bug against swig in development saying its not
providing as expected.
This sort of thing happens..... it is the development tree.

For comparison swig-1.3.21-6 in fc3 provides the library as expected:
rpm -q --provides swig
libswigguile.so.0
libswigguilescm.so.0
libswigphp4.so.0
libswigpl.so.0
libswigpy.so.0
libswigrb.so.0
libswigtcl8.so.0
swig = 1.3.21-6
