Bug Description

guile-2.2 package apparently installs guile, guile-2.2 and guild in /usr/bin, but not guild-2.2. This causes packages using configure w/ guile.m4 macros to fail: GUILE is defined but not GUILD. So builds which use commands (in the Makefiles) of the form "$(GUILD) compile ..." will fail.

Suggest adding guild-2.2 to the install process.

As a test, download https://github.com/TaylanUB/scheme-bytestructures/releases/download/v1.0.7/bytestructures-1.0.7.tar.gz, unpack and run ./configure in the top directory. Then check the Makefile and notice that GUILE is defined but not GUILD. "make" will fail for that reason.

FYI, the upstream debian package for guile has been updated (by rlb) to fix this.
I have no objection to closing this item.
