Bug#535305: common-lisp-controller: update fails rebuilding sb-grovel, asdf broken as a result

[David Creelman]

Package: common-lisp-controller
Version: 6.18
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


The results of an upgrade on this machine is as below.

I now can't use sbcl if I want to use asdf, which makes sbcl pretty much broken
for me.

When I try to load an asdf module with requires in the REPL, I get the 
following :-
