Hi,

the  sci-libs/mathgl-1.8-r1.ebuild  contains 
DEPEND="${RDEPEND}
        doc? ( app-text/texi2html virtual/texi2dvi )
        python? ( dev-lang/swig[python] )
        octave? ( dev-lang/swig[octave] )"

What does dev-lang/swig[python] mean?
Since  dev-lang/swig/swig-1.3.39 does not
use the useflags 'python', etc, anymore,
emerging sci-libs/mathgl tries to downgrade to
swig-1.3.36 which gives conflict elsewhere.

Do I really need to mask >swig-1.3.36 or
is sci-libs/mathgl-1.8-r1.ebuild too old?

Many thanks for a hint.
(Should I generate a bug report?)

Helmut.
