I believe the missing piece, at least for guile-1.3.4, is running
(picked up from prior suggestions on this list)
guile -c "(use-modules (ice-9 slib)) (require 'new-catalog)"
as root, which will create /usr/share/guile/slibcat.
The bootstrap.scm.in message should be updated to show that this problem
may also exist since without slibcat the "scheme library out of date"
message occurs even with 2c6 installed.
