Yes, the problem is because of this conflict. I would like to rebuild
syfi with the swig2.0 package, but there is currently a problem with
swig version 2.0.4 in syfi. I think the best solution until this gets
fixed is to remove syfi temporarily from the list of dependencies in
the fenics package. I will do that and upload a new package soon if I
can't find a solution to the swig problems in syfi.
