Bug#787909: cl-asdf: breaks sbcl's included asdf.fasl

[Faré]

This is a known issue, due to an incompatible update in SBCL. There is
a fix in ASDF 3.1.4.13, but it hasn't been released yet.

Workarounds:
1- remove the debian package cl-asdf
OR
2- install a more recent asdf in ~/common-lisp/asdf/ —
  sudo apt-get install git
  mkdir -p ~/common-lisp/
  cd ~/common-lisp/
  git clone https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/asdf/asdf.git

This bug will be fix when we release 3.1.5 (RSN).
