I have just run 'sudo apt-get install guile-1.8-libs:amd64'
and I am told:

guile-1.8-libs is already the newest version (1.8.8+1-10ubuntu1).
guile-1.8-libs set to manually installed.

Reflecting the second line above, 'aptitude search guile-1.8-libs' now
gives me:

i   guile-1.8-libs
p   guile-1.8-libs:i386

(The 'A' flag no longer appears in the first line.)

Incidentally, the 'p' flag indicates that "no trace of the package
exists on the system", so it is not the 32-bit version that is causing
problems.

Behaviour of 'lilypond scheme-sandbox' has not changed as a result of
trying to reinstall guile-1.8-libs:amd64

I am running Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) and Lilypond 2.19.48 .
