Bug#622280: two workarounds necessary now for gnucash to start
In the meantime, Gnucash maintainers have wisely reverted
Gnucash 2.4.5-2 back to guile 1.6 for us bleeding users.

Correct, Jacek. Both guile-1.8-dev and your manual fix are needed
for gnucash to start with guile 1.8.8. Should this be a new
bug or are developers onto it?

Bug#622280: two workarounds necessary now for gnucash to start
The problem with the catalogue only started at 1.8.8+1-1 and
persists to 1.8.8+1-2.

Actually, I forgot to ask. Was this with 1.8.8+1-1 (or newer), or some
older version? As of 1.8.8+1-1, I reinstated the guile-1.8-slib
package, and it should handle creating the catalog (though gnucash will
have to depend on it).
Actually, though, now that I think about it, Gnucash should hold off on
adding that dependency. I'm starting to wonder if triggers might allow
us to drop guile-1.8-slib altogether (again), and just have the main
guile package handle managing the catalog.
Thanks

Yes, I'm looking in to it. If I recall correctly, the last time the guile-X.Y-slib package was provided, it handled generating the catalog, and I think there may have been problems then too. I'm not sure, but I think the problem may have been that the catalog needs to be updated whenever either the Guile or SLIB packages are upgraded, which wasn't possible via guile-X.Y-slib alone, but I'm wondering if it might be possible now, via triggers. I'll have to do some investigation.
