Bug#580779: cl-asdf: ecl won't install: The function SYSTEM-SOURCE-FILE is undefined

[Arno Schuring]

Package: cl-asdf
Version: 2:1.502-1
Severity: normal

I'm trying to install ecl, but the system won't let me:

[...]
Reinstalling for ecl
Recompiling Common Lisp Controller for ecl
/usr/lib/common-lisp/bin/ecl.sh loading and dumping clc.
;;; Loading "/usr/lib/ecl/install-clc.lisp"
;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib/ecl-9.6.1/cmp.fas"
;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib/ecl-9.6.1/sysfun.lsp"

Saving to new-ecl...
;;; Loading "/var/cache/common-lisp-controller/0/ecl/common-lisp-controller/common-lisp-controller.fas"
;;; Loading "/var/cache/common-lisp-controller/0/ecl/cl-asdf/asdf.fas"

The function SYSTEM-SOURCE-FILE is undefined.
Available restarts:

1. (QUIT-DEBUGGER) Quit debugger level 1.
2. (ABORT) ABORT

Top level.
ASDF> 


Choosing either 1 or 2 has no effect, I have to interrupt the ecl-original
process through kill or Ctrl-C to have the installation continue, only to
reach the same error message further down in the configure process.

Eventually, the installation succeeds without aptitude mentioning that
package configuration has failed. I'm happy to ignore this error if you say
it is harmless, but it doesn't seem that way to me. Maybe a missing
dependency?
