Yeah, I read that also. and tried putting the .asd file in that directory and got the same message. I also tried under quicklisp/local-projects which I gathered  to be the preferred place, and it didn't see it there either.  I also tried linking the project directory in those places, it still doesn't find it.  .. I've noticed that sbcl updates haven't been 'held back' on Debian recently, so I'm reinstalling everything to get the most up to date versions.

i'd just put my code under ~/quicklisp/local-projects/ and forget
about ASDF configuration until it's again needed for something. you
can also use symlinks.

also, IIRC asdf:*central-registry* is obsoleted.
