Good detective work.
Guile is supposed to be able to handle having multiple versions installed and
to link the right libraries, but I suppose if you had guile-2.0-compiled files
in a guile cache and guile-2.2-compiled ones installed by the .deb it might get
confused. Was this a clean install of Ubuntu or were you upgrading and using a
GnuCash you’d built yourself before upgrading?
