Based on: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=863147#10 I think the Debian maintainers have made it clear that they will not re-enable the Guile bindings until the underlying bug is fixed, which apparently causes intermittent failures in GnuTLS's test suite when Guile is built with certain compile flags, as described here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=805863#84 > The problems could perhaps be solved by building the bindings with > guile 2.2. Sure, this would be a worthwhile thing to try, but we should probably try it ourselves before asking the Debian developers to spend time on it. I can't try it easily because I use GuixSD, but if there are interested users of Debian and Guile here, it would be a great help to try reproducing the problem described in Debian bug 805863, and seeing if the problem can be avoided by building GnuTLS with Debian's Guile-2.2 package.
