Great, that must be my problem too.

I don't seem to be able to do that.  Dpkg seems to think I have:

[tmp]# dpkg -l guile-1.6
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name           Version        Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
ii  guile-1.6      1.6.7-1        The GNU extension language and Scheme interp
[tmp]# 

But guile seems to insist on being 1.6.4:

[tmp]# guile --version
Guile 1.6.4

This is true even when I uninstall enough guile stuff that there is no
guile anywhere in my path and then do "dpkg -i guile1.6".

Is it possible that the debian package named
guile-1.6_1.6.7-1_i386.deb could contain guile 1.6.4 instead of 1.6.7?

Thanks, I may have to do that.
