Has Dag ( or > whoever is authority for that .spec file ) marked it as 'wontbuild' on el3 ? 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.
