On the second machine you might try uninstalling GnuCash before doing the upgrade, then check /usr/lib/gnucash/scm/ccache to make sure it has been removed. (That path might be off a bit, I don’t remember if Ubuntu uses /usr/lib/gnu-linux-x86_64/ or does its own /usr/lib specialization.)
You might also make sure that there’s no /home/colin/.caches/guile/2.0/ccache.
