Bug#468429: slime: Error on startup

[Liam Healy]

Package: slime
Version: 1:20080223-1
Severity: grave

I have found that the latest version of slime will not start up.  I
posted to the slime mailing list and got this response from Helmut
Eller:

 This seems to be Debian specific.  The missing function
 UNIQUE-DIRECTORY-NAME is now called UNIQUE-DIR-NAME.  Peter Van Eynde
 should probably set *FASL-DIRECTORY* instead of hard-coding the paths.

This is what I get when trying to start slime:

(progn (load "/usr/share/common-lisp/source/slime/swank-loader.lisp"
:verbose t) (funcall (read-from-string "swank-loader:init")) (funcall
(read-from-string "swank:start-server") "/tmp/slime.10300"
:coding-system "iso-latin-1-unix"))

This is SBCL 1.0.14.debian, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.
