Upgrade from mga 3 to 4, guile conflict

I received this message:
Some requested packages cannot be installed: guile-2.0.9-2.mga4.x86_64 (due to conflicts with guile1.8-1.8.8-16.mga4.x86_64)
I aborted the upgrade, and await whatever advice might be forthcoming.

History/background info:
This computer is an HP Pavilion P7-1234 desktop, originally sold with MS Windows Home Premium x64, currently dual-booting with the latest update of Mageia 3.

Currently using the F3 Safe Mode fall-back basic Gnome GUI, because the current Mageia 3 version (possibly the fglrx driver) seems to have a minor incompatibility with the CPU-integrated AMD Radeon HD 6530D graphics display adapter. (Response to mouse-clicks was delayed for up to a minute and a half). Using Safe Mode provides full function.

Then please report that as a bug, after searching if it hasn't been reported yet already: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_report_a_bug_properly

I'm not registered to the bug reporting site, but I could see that this has been a known problem since last August. If I'm reading the comments correctly, it looks as though uninstalling Gnucash might allow the upgrade to proceed. I'll try that.

That's only a workaround (to remove guile and dependant packages)
