error: command 'swig' failed: No such file or directory

After trying to upgrade from 4.0.1.post1 to 4.1.0-1, I'm getting an error during the installation, which wasn't the case before. Also, I want to suggest adhering somewhat to SemVer.

I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 with Python 3.10.4 and pip 22.0.2

pip3 install --user --upgrade python-libarchive

pip3 install --user --upgrade python-libarchive

Sorry about that. There was an error introduced in #17 that caused the release to be incorrect. I believe that I have corrected the issue and released version 4.1.1. I have verified that it installs and works on Ubuntu 20.04.4 and Ubuntu 22.04.1

Thank you very much for the speedy fix! It works now for me, too.
