This was an Ubuntu 18.04 machine with 2.16.9 installed from the Ubuntu
repo. I upgraded the machine to Ubuntu 18.10 and GC got upgraded to 3.3
from the repo. The machine has a long history however so it is not
possible to say how the guile libs were installed.
I do have another machine still running Ubuntu 18.04 and GC 2.6.19 and I
see it has guile-2.0 installed and not guile-2.2. I will be upgrading that
one once I am happy that Ubuntu 18.10 does not have any major problems.
