Well, it wouldn't surprise me if you've still got some buster (or foreign) software that depends on an old version of guile. For example, I've a program, running on buster, that uses guile 1.8 and python 2.4 (but it does include their support in its tarball). > Meanwhile, on another AMD64 machine with a fresh installation of > Bullseye: > > root@orca:~# pre guile > guile-2.2-libs 2.2.7+1-5.4 amd64 > guile-3.0 3.0.5-2 amd64 > guile-3.0-libs 3.0.5-2 amd64 > root@orca:~# > > And on a i686 machine with a fresh installation of Bullseye: > > root@grissom:~# pre guile > guile-2.2-libs 2.2.7+1-5.4 i386 > root@grissom:~# > > > If I try installing guile-3.0 on the first machine, iorich, I get: > > root@iorich:/etc/apt# apt install guile-3.0 > Reading package lists...
