The buildlog is very clear. swatch needs perl-Date-Calc, which comes with
every distribution by default except el3.
Solution: add perl-Date-Calc in RPMforge only for el3
Ed, you should really look at the buildlogs yourself if you want answers
to questions like this. You can come up with solutions yourself and maybe
even contribute a working perl-Date-Calc based on other perl module
packages.
