Forward this to the list - I hope that's o.k. with Bill:

Ah, I fear the thread is a bit unclear here. When refering to  ~.slime it
should mention that that directory only caches fasl files. So there's no
independent asdf code here. Removing asdf related files form  ~.slime 
just makes shure no stale fasls are loaded (but they shouldn't be loaded 
anyway - Lisp should detect that the fasl is stale).

cl-asdf isn't slime either, it's the name of a debian package that distributes
asdf. Frankly, I would stay away from installing debian's common lisp packages.
Often out-of-date and/or messing with the system. 
Really, for common lisp theses days quicklisp will provide stable systems  (usually
not older than 1-2 month), automatic download of dependencies and per-user installation.
