On a happier note, both (Home)brew and Ubuntu have newish versions of clisp which, AFAICT, pass all the ASDF tests. Yay!

I believe this is an issue with ASDF upgrade not working on CMUCL due to CLOS issues.
The workaround is to use the install-asdf.lisp script to overwrite CMUCL's builtin ASDF with a newer one. — Although I'm not sure whether the script will work if ASDF can't upgrade itself.

I'm getting a failure of the ASDF upgrade tests on CMUCL since the UIOP dependencies mod:

This looks like the key bit of the backtrace:

TBH, I'm inclined to regard 3.1.7 as so old that I don't have to think about it, but I'm open to contradiction. If I don't hear any, I'll prune that from the set of origin versions to test for upgrades, and move on.
Best,
