Going by the package definition, guile-dbd-postgresql seems to make a
Guile extension (C). There have been incompatible changes (both on the
Guile code level, and presumably on the C level). As such, sounds risky
to me.

Also, for whatever reason, guile-dbi propagates an old guile, so you'll
get a propagation conflict without guarantees on which Guile version ‘wins’.

So I guess it would be better for me to use something like guile-sqlite3.

Myself I think it would be better to update guile-dbi to the new Guile.

There were a few incompatible changes between the two Guile major versions, but very little and easy to resolve in my experience.

Greetings,
Maxime.
