The pycontainer patch seems to be the culprit:

I can't reproduce the issue with SWIG 4.5.0 built from official SWIG
tarballs, but looking at
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/swig/-/blob/debian/master/debian/patches/include-pycontainer.patch
, I believe it is the reason of the failure as it unconditionnally includes a
SWIG .swg file only meant for C++. This patch to the SWIG package looks wrong
to me
"
Dropping include-pycontainer.patch (e.g. as per the attached patch) is
confirmed the fix the issue.
Has the issue been discussed with upstream or the patch forwarded? They likely
can suggest a better fix.
I don't know if it's possible to make the include conditional for C++, that
might be a good alternative too.
Kind Regards,
Bas
