Same with kernel 2.6.38-2-amd64. I booted into the older 2.6.32-5-amd64
just to make sure.
After upgrading to sbcl Version: 1:1.0.47.0-2, got following in
emacs/slime:

; loading #P"/usr/share/common-lisp/source/slime/swank-loader.lisp"

debugger invoked on a SB-C::INPUT-ERROR-IN-COMPILE-FILE in thread

swank-loader.lisp"

{1002961C21}>:
      package "ASDF" not found

Same error in bare sbcl, and must manually load asdf.

The file /usr/lib/common-lisp/bin/sbcl.sh is not there.

I then downgraded sbcl (and cl-asdf, because both were upgraded at same
time), and all works fine as before. I then re-
upgraded both, and got the same error again.
