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).

So I'd look for any non-bullseye holdover packages, and
particlarly any that depend directly or indirectly on
libgc1c2, probably via guile 2.2.
