Bug#724208: cl-plplot: FTBFS: Component ASDF/USER::ALEXANDRIA not found, required by #<SYSTEM "cffi">

[Faré]

Yes, we have a bug fix, but right now it's pending release of ASDF
3.0.3, Real Soon Now (tm).

In the mean time, please use this work around:
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/local/share:/usr/share
