At this time we're only officially supporting Guile 1.8 - there is / has 
been work to get Guile 2.x working but at this time it isn't officially 
supported.

If you've used ghostscript 9.26 (which is what I am running) then I'd 
suggest that Guile is the suspect here. Do you know if this was one of 
the packages updated with whatever Linux update you did?
