Alternatively, is it possible to modify the portable ASDF distro so that out of the box it would be capable of not breaking contrib modules?
I did my best in /xcvb/no-asdf to allow the uninstallation of a previous ASDF such that the new installation will not break contrib modules. I needed it so as to use the latest ASDF whereas Debian has an ancient one, and SBCL is not always cutting-edge enough for me.
It looks like it's working to me. If there are issues that can be fixed, I'll welcome bug reports and patches.
